“Part iii, line 4alegal services description of cases litigated and the rationale for the determination that the litigation benefits the public generally:i. Case name: jane ladley and christopher meier v. Pennsylvania state education association (file stamped september 18, 2014, lancaster, pa) case no. 14-08552.the fairness center provides legal services to schoolteachers jane ladley and chris meier, who are the targets of an alleged illegal public union scheme designed to (i) prevent all nonunion employees, including ladley and meier, from sending money to certain public charities, and (ii) funnel money to the unions favorite charities. The fairness centers role in the case is representative of a broad public interest by seeking to clarify or expand upon nonunion employees' constitutional rights and to provide protection to any nonunion employee in pennsylvania from having their union dues used to fund a charity supporting candidates or policies to which they object on religious or other grounds. The litigation would have substantial impact beyond the interest of the litigants because all of the nonunion employees in pennsylvania where such conduct is occurring are impacted by the unions participating in such practices. The litigants receive no financial benefit, if any, from the litigation. The financial benefit is bestowed on charities who are not receiving contributions because of the unions practices. The litigation would not warrant representation from private sources because it would not be financially beneficial to a private law firm to take the case. While the impact is significant, the financial amounts at stake are relatively small for individual plaintiffs. The mission of the fairness center is made possible by the generous support of its members, grants from like-minded organizations, and the general public. Fairness center will not accept fees for services. Part iii, line 4a continuedii. Case name: trometter v. National education association (nea) & pennsylvania state education association (psea)the fairness center provides legal services to mary trometter, an assistant professor of culinary arts at the pennsylvania college of technology. The fairness center represents mary trometter in her challenge to the pseas and neas use of dues money to support a candidate for public office. The fairness centers role in this case is representative of a broad public interest because it supports enforcement of existing laws and protection of public-sector employees in pennsylvania from having their union dues used to support candidates for office in violation of state law. Therefore, the litigation would also have a substantial impact beyond the interest of the litigants in that it seeks to defend and uphold the political system established in pennsylvania. A favorable result would serve as an example for other states where similar state laws are being violated.the litigants receive no financial benefit, if any, from the litigation. The financial benefit is bestowed on the public-sector dues-payers in that their membership dues are not being used for illegal activities. The litigation is not one that would warrant representation from private sources because it would not be financially beneficial to a private law firm to take the case. While the impact is significant, the financial amounts at stake are relatively small for individual plaintiffs. The fairness center will not accept fees for services.”
