Geralyn Buening and Tessy Huwer, both practicing Catholics, objected to the NEA\u2019s positions on abortion and special rights for homosexuals.\n\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\tTitle VII of the Civil Rights Act forbids discrimination against religious employees and requires companies and unions to attempt to reasonably accommodate employees\u2019 sincerely-held religious beliefs. The obligation to accommodate includes the payment of compulsory union fees, as no employee should be forced to fund a union that engages in activities that offend their religious convictions.\n\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Ohio teachers originally filed charges against the NEA teacher union with the Ohio Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), alleging that the union was in violation of their rights as religious objectors. In return for withdrawing the charges, the settlement allows the teachers to redirect their mandatory agency fees to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, rather than pay any funds whatsoever to a union hierarchy steeped in objectionable social activism.\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\nRead the rest of the press release <a href=\"\/press\/2008\/09\/two-ohio-teachers-faith-win-right-re\">here<\/a>.
