Rebecca Friedrichs

In today’s edition of The Heartland Daily Podcast, Budget & Tax News managing editor Jesse Hathaway speaks with Rebecca Friedrichs, a California teacher who’s going all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States to fight for her (and other teachers’) protection against compelled speech and involuntary association by labor unions.

The U.S. Supreme Court will review the case of Rebecca Friedrichs, a California public school teacher objecting to the dues she is paying even though she resigned from the California Teachers Association (CTA). Friedrichs contends CTA’s use of the dues is “not in the best interests of me or my community.”
