The union never provided the constitutionally required independent audit to prove that employees are not subsidizing non-collective bargaining activities or other procedural safeguards. <\/p>\n<p>To vindicate professors\u2019 civil rights, instructor Sandra Swanson contacted the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation for free legal aid. <\/p>\n<p>Under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, as articulated in the Foundation-won Supreme Court decision in <a href=\"\/foundation-won.htm#Hudson\"><i>Chicago Teachers Union v. Hudson<\/i><\/a>, union officials must provide independently audited disclosure of their books and justify expenditures made from forced union dues seized from teachers who have chosen to refrain from union membership.<\/p>\n<p>According to the constitutional protections construed by the U.S. Supreme Court in the Foundation-won decisions of <a href=\"\/foundation-won.htm#Abood\"><i>Abood v. Detroit Board of Education<\/i><\/a> and <a href=\"\/foundation-won.htm#Lehnert\"><i>Lehnert v. Ferris Faculty Association<\/i><\/a>, the union may only collect compulsory dues that are proven to be spent on collective bargaining activity.  Politics, lobbying, organizing, public relations, and other non-bargaining activities are explicitly non-chargeable to employees who have exercised their right to refrain from union membership. <\/p>\n<p>The NEA is one of the most politically active unions in the country.  Every year, union officials seize millions of dollars in compulsory dues to support candidates and causes that many of their members find objectionable.  Polls have consistently shown that a majority of rank-and-file union members object to having their dues spent for political activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Honolulu, Hawaii (September 3, 2002) \u2014 With the help of the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, an instructor at Maui Community College filed suit against the University of Hawaii Professional Assembly (UHPA) teacher union for illegally forcing her to pay full union dues, including dues spent for politics. \u201cIn an effort to amass [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[888],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2619","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
