Court blocks firings of two Uniontown teachers over union dues
A Fayette County panel reversed a prior arbitration and barred the Uniontown school board from firing Daniel F. Zack and Warren Langley for refusing to pay UAEA dues. The court held the state school code overrides union contracts and that nonpayment cannot justify dismissal, denying unfair labor practice claims. The teachers appealed with aid from the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation.
