Ysursa v. Pocatello Educ. Assoc.

U.S. Supreme Court

The Court is reviewing a 9th Circuit Court of Appeals decision that limited the applicability of an Idaho state law banning payroll deductions for union political action committees. The Ninth Circuit ruled that the payroll deduction ban should only apply to union payroll deductions at the state government level, and that local government bodies were independent political entities outside of the reach the state law. NFIB's brief argues that the 9th Circuit wrongly forces Idaho taxpayers to subsidize union political activities by offering valuable payroll deduction services to union officials.

Status: PENDING. Amicus brief filed June 6, 2008.
