The court ruled 5-to-4 in Janus v. AFSCME Council 31 that mandatory union fees violate free speech rights of workers who object to union positions. “We conclude that this arrangement violates the free speech rights of nonmembers by compelling them to subsi- dize private speech on matters of substantial public concern,” Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the majority opinion. In a scathing dissent, Jus- tice Elena Kagan accused the conservative justices in the majority opinion of overturn- ing decades of precedent set in Abood v. Detroit Board of Edu- cation and “weaponizing” the First Amendment. “There is no sugarcoating today’s opinion. The major- ity overthrows a decision entrenched in this Nation’s law — and in its economic life — for over 40 years,” she wrote, referring to the case that estab- lished mandatory dues. “As a result, it prevents the Ameri- can people, acting through their state and local officials, from making important choices about workplace governance. And it does so by weaponizing the First Amendment, in a way that unleashes judges, now and in the future, to intervene in eco- nomic and regulatory policy.” Gov. Kate Brown made a show of unity with unions by issuing a joint statement with several union leaders to con- demn the decision. “The Supreme Court’s dis- appointing ruling in the Janus case tips the scale yet again in favor of wealthy special inter- ests, making it even harder for working families to get ahead. Despite that decision, however, Oregon’s unions will remain strong as long as union mem- bers stick together and continue acting collectively for the com- mon good of all workers.” The opinion was a victory for several public sector work- ers who challenged the manda- tory dues in court. Aaron Withe, Oregon direc- tor of the Freedom Founda- tion — a nonprofit conservative think tank that represents seven Oregon public employees in a legal challenge of non-mem- ber dues, said the opinion will allow members to have more influence over union activities. Unions “will have to pro- vide services that make mem- bers want to pay these union dues,” Withe said. “No lon- Expungement NO Court Appearance DIVORCE & Arrests $155 , Clear Many Convictions , Divorce in 1-5 weeks Possible!

It is just like any other private entity now. You could compare it to a gym membership. If you feel you are getting what you are paying for, you continue to pay the gym fees; if you don’t, then you don’t.” The Freedom Foundation case against the Oregon Ameri- can Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 75 is still moving for- ward regardless of the ruling, and plaintiffs now have a better chance of obtaining damages, Withe said. The Supreme Court opinion came in response to a challenge by Mark Janus, an Illinois child support specialist, who claimed that the mandatory fees violate his First Amendment right to free speech. In another Oregon case, Debora Nearman, wife of Rep. Mike Nearman, R-Polk County, sued Service Employ- ees International Union Local 503 in April for forcing her to pay annual non-member dues of more than $1,200 in 2016, while the union spent $53,260 to try to defeat her husband is his bid for election to the state Legislature.

Morrow County will receive $376,464, and Union County to the east is getting more that $1.6 million. The U.S. Department of the Interior on Wednesday announced $552.8 million to local governments nationwide to help offset losses in property taxes due to non-taxable federal lands within their boundaries. Oregon’s 36 counties are getting $36.9 million. The makes the average payment a bit more than $1 million. Clatsop County in the state’s northwest corner receives the smallest pay- ment, $4,072, and Klamath County in the south receives the largest amount, more than $3.1 million. U.S. Rep. Greg Walden in a news release stated the funding for 2018 represents the largest amount ever in the 40-year history of the PILT program. He said the funds are crit- ical to help Oregon’s rural communities have well-functioning schools, law enforcement and infrastructure. Umatilla County socks its PILT payments into a fund to offset the rising cost of the state’s Public Employee Retirement System.
