SALEM, Ore. (AP) — An Oregon state employee and a labor union have reached a settlement over her lawsuit seeking payback of obligatory union fees, marking the first refund of forced fees since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in late June that government workers can't be required to contribute to labor groups, the employee's lawyers said Monday. Debora Nearman, an employee of Department of Fish and Wildlife, said in her lawsuit filed in April in federal court that the state's practice of forcing her to pay fees to fund union activity violated her First Amendment freedoms on religion, expression, assembly, and the right to petition. She also said the Service Employees International Union, or SEIU, opposes her political and religious views; and even led a campaign against her husband when he ran as a Republican candidate for the state Legislature.
