Sorry for the duplication. It’s early in the day.

“We litigated Janus, so providing free legal aid to individual teachers and other employees so they can fully exercise on their rights under Janus is really what the National Right to Work Foundation does and will continue to do,” said attorney Bill Messenger.
In the lawsuit, the teachers explain their “did not know they had a constitutional right not to financially support” the union hierarchy until the fall of 2019, when they discovered their Janus rights while looking for information on how to continue working during a strike that union bosses ordered in October. They said they sent letters the same month to union officials to exercise their Janus right to resign union membership and cut off all dues deductions.
Both educators said they received no response until November of that year, when union officials confirmed receipt of the letters but notified them they would continue to seize dues from the teachers’ paychecks until Sept. 1, 2020, as allowed by the union’s “escape period” scheme.
