Washington, D.C. (May 24, 2019)<\/strong> \u2013 A Washington State childcare provider is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to hear Miller v. Inslee<\/i>, a case which challenges the state\u2019s requirement that businesses which receive state funds for providing childcare to low-income families accept the monopoly representation of the Service Employees\u2019 International Union (SEIU). The Petition for Writ of Certiorari was filed by National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation staff attorneys for plaintiff Katherine Miller, who is challenging the scheme as a violation of her First Amendment rights of free speech and association.<\/p>\nMiller, who runs a childcare business from her home, is deemed a \u201cpublic employee\u201d by the State of Washington solely because part of her business revenue includes subsidies the state provides to low-income families to be used on childcare. As a result, Washington granted SEIU union officials the power to force her under their union monopoly bargaining scheme and dictate the terms of how she runs her home-based business.<\/p>\n
The petition asks the court to hold government-mandated forced \u201crepresentation\u201d to the same First Amendment standard that led the Supreme Court to find in the landmark 2018 Janus v. AFSCME<\/i> decision that forced union fees violate the First Amendment. In that ruling, the Supreme Court also held that government-granted union monopoly bargaining power over public employees is \u201ca significant impingement on associational freedoms that would not be tolerated in other contexts.\u201d<\/p>\n
In this case, Miller maintains that Washington\u2019s policy breaches the First Amendment by forcing her to associate with union officials whose representation she doesn\u2019t want and to which she didn\u2019t consent. Miller\u2019s argument also cites the High Court\u2019s holding in the 2014 Harris v. Quinn<\/i> case, which invalidated forced union fees for similar home-based care providers on the grounds that they are not full-fledged \u201cpublic employees.\u201d The petition argues that finding, in combination with the Supreme Court\u2019s observation in Janus regarding forced association in \u201cother contexts,\u201d warrants Supreme Court review.<\/p>\n
National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys successfully argued and briefed both the Janus<\/i> and Harris<\/i> cases at the U.S. Supreme Court. In both cases the Supreme Court applied a heightened level of \u201cexacting\u201d First Amendment scrutiny to the government-imposed forced dues, which is what Miller asks the Court to apply in her case challenging forced association with a union.<\/p>\n
\u201cBased on misreadings of not only Janus<\/i> but also earlier Supreme Court precedent, courts across the country have looked the other way as union bosses and their allies in government have come up with increasingly outrageous schemes to force individuals under union monopolies against their will,\u201d said National Right to Work President Mark Mix. \u201cIf Katherine Miller, who runs a small business out of her own home, can be forced to associate with a union simply because she cares for children whose care is partially subsidized by the government, then there is no legal limit to who can be forced to accept a government-appointed \u2018representative\u2019 to speak to and lobby the government for them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
