Pocatello Education Association that states may prohibit union officials from using payroll deduction to divert government workers\u2019 money into union coffers.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIn overturning a Ninth Circuit appeals court decision and upholding an Idaho law banning payroll deduction for union political dues from state and local government employees, the majority opinion, written by Chief Justice John Roberts, agreed with arguments made by National Right to Work Foundation attorneys.  The lower court had blocked the state from requiring local government bodies to comply with the state law.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nNational Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation attorneys \u2013 joining with the Sutherland Institute, Utah Taxpayers Association, and the National Federation of Independent Business \u2013 successfully argued in their <i>amicus<\/i> <a href=\"\/files\/nrtw\/Pocatello-Amicus.pdf\">brief<\/a> (pdf) that unions, in fact, have no constitutional right to use government resources to deduct dues from workers\u2019 paychecks.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThe Supreme Court&#8217;s decision makes clear what should be obvious, that union officials have no constitutional right to use government resources to line their pockets,\u201d said Stefan Gleason, vice president of the National Right to Work Foundation. &quot;It is bad public policy for government bodies essentially to act as bagmen for union political monies.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cBut there was a much more effective way to address this problem.  The Idaho legislature should simply have banned all union payroll deductions, not just those for narrowly defined political activities,\u201d continued Gleason.  \u201cUnfortunately, the definition of politics covered by such laws is so narrow that union bosses are essentially able to continue business as usual.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe majority opinion also relied on the unanimous Foundation-won U.S. Supreme Court Davenport v. WEA victory.  In Davenport, Foundation attorneys represented a group of nonunion Washington State teachers.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe three dissenting Justices in Ysursa were troubled by the appearance that the Idaho law targeted only union political speech rather than having a broader objective.  Legal experts agree that laws which ban payroll deduction across the board \u2013 rather than just monies for certain political speech \u2013 would therefore be less vulnerable to legal attack and would better serve the public policy purposes underpinning such laws.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\n<b>Washington, DC (February 24, 2009)<\/b> \u2013 The U.S. Supreme Court today ruled 6-3 in Ysursa v.
