Two Chicago Public Schools employees are challenging the validity of their signed contracts to pay union dues as unconstitutional under a 2018 decision that ruled mandatory union dues are a violation of free speech.
Lawyers with the National Right to Work organization, which represent CPS employees Joanne Troesch and Ifeoma Nkemdi, have filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court that seeks to void the membership contracts signed prior to the Supreme Court’s decision in Janus v. American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.
In the Janus case, the U.S. Supreme Court decided that public-sector unions cannot require nonmembers to pay so-called “fair share” dues to subsidize the union’s speech, which they might disagree with.
