A federal appeals court rejected a health care union’s request that the judges reconsider their decision upholding the right of nurses not to be required to fund the labor group’s political lobbying.
The United Nurses and Allied Professionals (UNAP) union had asked the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit to reconsider its September 2020 ruling upholding Rhode Island nurse Jeannette Geary’s right not to be charged assessments used to cover the costs of lobbying and other political activities.
