Oregon public union leaders
decried a ruling Wednesday by
the U.S. Supreme Court ending
mandatory union fees that sup-
port collective bargaining.
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-

Supreme Court in Washington, D.C. The court ruled 5-to-4
Wednesday in Janus v. AFSCME Council 31 that mandatory
union fees violate free speech rights of workers who object
to union positions.
ger will people with disagree-
ments with what they are doing
have to pay the union dues. 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.

Federal payment program
allocates $36.9 million
for rural Oregon counties
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Umatilla County
is getting a tick more than $1 million in fed-
eral funds from the Payments in Lieu of Taxes
program.
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.
