Davenport v. Washington Education Association
Definition
- In Davenport v. Washington Education Association , 551 U.S. ____(2007)—consolidated with Washington v. Washington Education Association—the Supreme Court upheld a 1992 Washington campaign finance law requiring public sector unions representing nonunion employees in collective bargaining to obtain nonmembers’ affirmative consent before spending their service fees, known as “agency-shop” funds, for political purposes. In these cases, a group of four nonunion teachers (the Davenport plaintiffs) and the state of Washington sued labor union Washington Education Association (WEA) in separate proceedings, contending that the union had not complied with the statute.
