Karass<\/em> scheduled for argument on Monday, October 6.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cIn previous cases argued by attorneys at the National Right to Work Foundation, the Supreme Court has thus far ruled that union officials may force employees to pay union dues or be fired from their jobs.

The answer should be \u2018no\u2019 based on existing Supreme Court precedent. Litigation is expressive activity, and forcing unwilling individuals to fund it violates their First Amendment rights. And lawsuits are often used to grease the rails for union organizing and ultimately more forced dues.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cMillions of workers laboring under forced unionism in America may be affected by the Court\u2019s decision. While we are optimistic the Court will rule in our favor, the real remedy for the misuse of compulsory union dues is the elimination of Big Labor\u2019s government-enabled special privileges that cause the problem in the first place. No worker should be forced to pay tribute to an unwanted union.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFoundation attorneys filed the <em>Locke<\/em> case for Daniel Locke and 19 other Maine State employees in 2005 after the state legislature and governor repaid campaign debts by imposing a forced union dues requirement on the state government workforce. The employees\u2019 lawsuit successfully forced Maine State Employee Association union officials to abandon their efforts to force nonmembers to subsidize their nationwide organizing efforts and reduce their forced dues demands of nonmembers, but the employees lost on the litigation funding question at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\n<strong>Washington, DC (October 3, 2008)<\/strong> \u2013 Mark Mix, President of the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, made the following statement regarding the U.S. Supreme Court case <em>Locke v.
