STOCKTON INTERPRETER’S LAWSUIT SHOWS HOW FAR CSEA WILL GO TO MAKE AN EXAMPLE OF DISSENTERS
December 7, 2023 // To justify its actions, the union claimed Baker had signed a subsequent dues-authorization form in 2020 that included the opt-out window provision. But when she asked to see the document, the union refused. Through her attorneys, Baker was finally able to negotiate a settlement with CSEA in July 2022. Under its terms, her CSEA membership and dues deductions would stop immediately, and she would be reimbursed for the dues that had been deducted from her pay since April. In return, Baker agreed to release CSEA, its officers and agents from any and all claims, demands, obligations or causes of action through the date of execution of the settlement agreement, including claims for legal fees. The union also acknowledged for the first time that Baker had not been a member since April 2022 and enclosed a copy of the dues authorization she had allegedly signed two years earlier.
