California Teachers Gear Up to Take Fight Against Unions to Supreme Court
Melissa Quinn /
On Monday, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the case Friedrichs v. California Teachers Association. Rebecca Friedrichs and nine other teachers are calling into question the agency fees that public-sector workers are required to pay to unions, which they say violate their First Amendment rights. If the Supreme Court rules in Friedrichs’ favor, it would make union dues voluntary for all public-sector workers.
