New rule ensures state employees give affirmative and knowing consent before dues are collected from their paychecks<\/em><\/h3>\n

Juneau, AK (September 27, 2019)<\/strong> \u2013 Yesterday Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy announced an executive order to help protect the First Amendment rights of all state employees under the 2018 Janus v. AFSCME<\/i> Supreme Court decision. Under the new rule, the State of Alaska will deduct union fees only from the paychecks of employees who have filed a waiver with the state acknowledging their wishes to have union dues taken from their paychecks despite their right under Janus<\/i> not to fund any union activities.<\/p>\n

In Janus<\/i>, the Supreme Court ruled that government workers cannot be required to pay union dues or fees and further recognized that the First Amendment is violated when any such payments are collected absent a worker\u2019s clear and knowing voluntary consent.<\/p>\n

National Right to Work Foundation President Mark Mix lauded Alaska\u2019s defense of state workers\u2019 First Amendment rights:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cEvery American employee deserves the right to choose, free of coercion or manipulation, who will be his or her voice in the workplace. The Supreme Court in Janus<\/i> extended this freedom to all public sector employees, and Alaska took a major step forward yesterday in protecting the First Amendment rights of state employees recognized in Janus<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Alaska is proactively ensuring workers are not relinquishing their First Amendment rights absent the clear and knowing voluntary waiver required by the Janus<\/i> precedent. We urge other states to follow Alaska\u2019s lead and prioritize the constitutional rights of state employees under the Janus<\/i> precedent.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Janus<\/i> was argued and won by Foundation staff attorneys in 2018. Days after the ruling came down, Foundation Legal Director Raymond J. LaJeunesse sent a letter to then-Alaska Department of Administration Commissioner Leslie Ridle and 20 other payroll managers in states with forced union dues for government employees urging them to fully comply with the decision by stopping payments unless employees have given a knowing waiver of their First Amendment right not to fund union activities. The letter points out that the Supreme Court\u2019s decision specifically held that a waiver of such rights \u201c\u2019cannot be presumed[,\u2019 r]ather, to be effective, the waiver must be freely given and shown by \u2018clear and compelling\u2019 evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n

LaJeunesse\u2019s letter also asserted that, if state comptrollers did not comply with Janus<\/i>, \u201cFoundation staff attorneys will bring a civil rights action seeking class-wide injunctive relief.\u201d To date, Foundation staff attorneys have filed over 30 lawsuits seeking to enforce workers\u2019 rights under the Janus<\/i> precedent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
