Teachers unions will get their day in court Tuesday as they seek an emergency injunction against a law that would change how union dues are deducted. Senate Enrolled Act 251 was signed into law earlier this year, but takes effect July 1.
The new state law adds extra steps for teachers to have union dues automatically deducted from their paychecks, effectively requiring them to opt in each summer. It includes an annual authorization form teachers have to sign which says they know they can decline union membership and its required dues. Unions say it violates constitutional rights to free speech and association.
