ABOOD v. DETROIT BOARD OF EDUCATION 431 U.S. 209 (1977)
Abood is one of the cases where union or agency shop agreements create speech and association problems, because individuals must join unions in order to hold jobs and then must pay dues to support union activities with which the individuals may not agree. Here the union represented public employees. The Supreme Court has consistently held that there is no right not to associate in a labor union for the purposes of collective bargaining but that a union must develop methods of relieving a member of those portions of union dues devoted to union ideological activities to which he objects.
