\nToday’s DC Examiner<\/i> has an editorial about the Foundation’s upcoming US Supreme Court case, Daniel Locke v. Karass<\/i><\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

\nHere’s an excerpt from the editorial:\n<\/p>\n

\n

\n\tLocke is one of 20 Maine state employees who found that their compulsory agency fees to the Maine State Employees Association were being used to fund union lawsuits and bargaining in other states via a funding pool administered by the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). Locke and his like-minded colleagues objected to having to pay the fees because they knew the SEIU aggressively pushes a political agenda outside of Maine, including political campaigning, lobbying government at all levels, litigation against employers, media advocacy and other non-bargaining activities. Every dollar taken from Locke to pay for union litigation outside Maine freed up a dollar to be spent on SEIU\u2019s political agenda.\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\tSounds like an open-and-shut case, right? After all, Thomas Jefferson said it was \u201csinful and tyrannical\u201d to \u201ccompel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves.\u201d And just last year, the court ruled that public employee unions must first get permission from individual members before using their dues for political activities. Justice Antonin Scalia declared that \u201cunions have no constitutional entitlement to the fees of nonmember employees.\u201d\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\tBut things are never so simple in the nation\u2019s capital. U.S. Solicitor General Paul Clement has submitted a brief in the case in which he argues that public employee unions can indeed use agency fees to pay their share of a litigation pool.\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\tBut, he says, doing so must further the government\u2019s interest in keeping the peace in the workplace. He also says the union must give reasonable assurance that the pool doesn\u2019t indirectly aid non-litigation activities.\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\tIn other words, as long as there is peace in the workplace and wink-winks from the union, President Bush\u2019s solicitor general will be happy. And this president is anti-union?\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
