In Communications Workers of America v. Beck, +487 U.S. 735 (1988), the Supreme Court considered whether a union is permitted to spend the dues collected from non-union employees on activities unrelated to collective bargaining, contract administration or grievance adjustment. The Court also addressed whether the union violated its duty of fair representation by spending funds on these unrelated activities.
