The U.S. Supreme Court next month has a chance to teach some important lessons to a major teachers’ union — and to the Washington state high court that acted as the teachers’ union pet.
In the case of Davenport v. Washington Education Association (henceforth the WEA), the Washington State Supreme Court upended at least three separate legal principles. If the state court’s ruling stands, the union will be allowed, against the express intent of the state Legislature, to use the compulsory dues of non-members for political purposes without the workers’ direct consent.
