Attorney General, teachers union settle dues dispute
Wednesday, December 3, 2008 | 11:29 am
A prolonged fight on the state teachers union use of dues for political purposes may finally be over.
The Washington Education Association and Attorney General Rob McKenna announced an agreement today resolving litigation that's taken the two sides to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Here's the release.
WEA will pay $735,000 to the state to settle the lawsuit and return up to $240,000 to those who paid agency fees during the 2003 – 2007 school years.
The Evergreen Freedom Foundation first challenged the union's use of the fees a decade ago. Here's a chronology posted online by EFF.
