Interesting. I wonder under what grounds the dismissal was requested?
"wonder under what grounds the dismissal was requested?"
"The Washington Supreme Court ruled on March 16, 2006, that RCW 42.17.760 was unconstitutional, saying the law placed "too great an administrative burden" on the union."

Then how could their motion be denied? I tried to read the thing and it doesn't say why, just that it was denied.
BTW, the ping list is here, in case you want to ping directly:

This is good.
What am I missing. Why are nonmembers paying dues?
I'm not getting it either.
"The NEA cases were placed on hold pending resolution of the WEA case, which was then on appeal."
I believe this is the reason.
I see. But since when does a federal court defer to a state court? I used to think courts were fairly narrow and even-handed in their decisions...just gullible, I guess. ;o)
You can not, if you are not a member of the union and the union is acting as an agent, be assessed for political political expenses of the Union. The NEA is not an association it is a Union but it feels it is special.
???
Please splain me Lucy? How is the NEA collecting dues from nonmembers.
We are talking about the state of Washington after all
A judge in Seattle ruled that unions can collect 'dues' from non-union members who are performing the same jobs.
Crazy. I know.
Here's the link.

"But since when does a federal court defer to a state court? "
It's happened many times when the SCOTUS refuses to hear a case and 'defers' to the state.
That sounds like you hit the nail right on the head.
I'm sorry. I erred!
It was a contract between the State and the Unions.
Not a ruling.
WOO HOO!
Bump!
I think the bell is tolling for the NEA :)
