Class action lawsuit names Governor DeWine for state\u2019s role in enforcing opt-out requirement that violates U.S. Supreme Court\u2019s <\/em>Janus v. AFSCME precedent<\/em><\/h3>\n

Columbus, OH (August 27, 2019)<\/strong> \u2013 National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation staff attorneys have just filed a class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, challenging the State of Ohio\u2019s enforcement of illegal restrictions created by AFSCME Council 11 union officials to limit state employees\u2019 First Amendment rights to stop union dues payments. The lawsuit is being filed for five state employees who are receiving free legal aid from the Foundation.<\/p>\n

The complaint seeks to ensure that Ohio state workers can freely exercise their constitutional rights under the Foundation-won Janus v. AFSCME<\/i> U.S. Supreme Court decision, which struck down mandatory union fees as a violation of the First Amendment rights of government employees. The Supreme Court recognized that any dues taken without a government worker\u2019s affirmative consent violate the First Amendment, and further made it clear that these rights cannot be restricted absent a clear and knowing waiver of them.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit challenges union-created restrictions which block workers from exercising their rights under Janus<\/i> outside of a brief \u201cescape period\u201d once every three years at the expiration of the union monopoly bargaining contract. AFSCME Council 11 is enforcing such First Amendment restrictions against tens of thousands of state workers.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit seeks to end those restrictions and ensure that state workers only have union dues deducted from their paychecks if they have affirmatively opted-in to such payments. Because the state is seizing the dues from workers\u2019 paychecks and enforcing the restriction, Governor DeWine and another state official are named as defendants in the complaint.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver a year ago the US Supreme Court ruled that public employees\u2019 financial support of union activities must be completely voluntary, but the state of Ohio continues to enforce illegal union policies that violate the clear standards laid out in the Janus<\/i> decision,\u201d said National Right to Work Foundation President Mark Mix. \u201cGovernor DeWine and Attorney General Yost should move quickly to stop this widespread violation of the First Amendment rights of Ohio public sector workers and cease collecting union dues from any worker who has not affirmatively consented to pay dues.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Ohio government employees\u2019 lead Foundation staff attorney is William Messenger, who argued the Janus v. AFSCME<\/i> case at the U.S. Supreme Court. Foundation staff attorneys are currently litigating dozens of cases to enforce the Janus decision for workers from coast-to-coast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
