Legal Support

The law is on your side and our New Jersey legal team stands ready to support your decision to stop paying dues and leave the NJEA. All NJEA members have the 1st Amendment right to stop paying dues and leave the NJEA. No one — not the NJEA, your local, your principal or superintendent, or your Business Administrator — can stop you from exercising your rights. No one can retaliate against you for exercising your rights. You have legal protections. If you believe that someone is impeding your right to stop paying dues or that you are suffering retaliation, please contact our legal team HERE. We stand ready to help you defend your 1st Amendment rights.
