The Court unanimously ruled in favor of the teachers, declaring unions have no constitutional right to collect fees from nonmembers and allowing states to require union bosses to obtain affirmative consent before spending nonmember public employees\u2019 forced fees on political activities.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAfter the case went back to state court, WEA union bosses finally settled with the teachers and agreed to refund the dues that were improperly confiscated.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe checks (some of which are pictured below) were sent to thousands of Washington teachers last week.\n<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/files\/nrtw\/Davenport_v_Wea_Settlement_Checks_5.jpg\" alt=\"Davenport Settlement Checks\" width=\"462\" height=\"308\" \/>\u00a0\n<\/div>\n<p>\nFor more information regarding the National Right To Work Foundation&#8217;s history-shaping legal precedents on behalf of abused workers, <a href=\"\/en\/foundation-won-supreme-court-precedents\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div style=\"text-align: center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/files\/nrtw\/P1100049.JPG\" alt=\"Gary Davenport with family at U.S. Supreme Court\" width=\"360\" height=\"480\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<span style=\"font-size: x-small\"><b>\u00a0Gary Davenport with his wife and three children at the U.S. Supreme Court. <\/b><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAs a result of the National Right to Work Foundation\u2019s <a href=\"\/en\/blog\/us-supreme-court-agrees-with-nrtw-02242009\">precedent-setting victory<\/a> before the United States Supreme Court in <i>Davenport v.
