"Group sues Ohio union over continued forced union dues"

From the article:


“The attorneys argue that under Janus, a union can only collect dues from a person if that person has affirmatively waived their First Amendment right to refrain from subsidizing the union’s speech. However, Fizer was never notified of her rights, which the lawyers argue means that she could not have voluntarily waived them.

Patrick Semmens, a vice president for NRTW, told The Center Square via email that unions are using this escape period tactic to force people to pay union dues when they want to opt out.”
