Friedrichs is the lead plantiffs in a lawsuit filed in April 2013 that seeks to overturn a California law that requires her to pay union dues even though she's not a member of the union.
There are twenty-six states with "ageny shop" laws of this sort in place.
The Supreme Court has agreed to hear Friedrichs v. California Teachers Association in its fall session.
Reason magazine's Matt Welch sat down with Friedrichs at FreedomFest 2015.
