PERRY EDUCATION ASSOCIATION V. PERRY LOCAL EDUCATORS' ASSOCIATION
460 U.S. 37 (1983)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a dispute over access to interschool mail and teacher
mailboxes between an exclusive bargaining agent and a rival teacher group.
FACTS: Both the PEA (D) and the PLEA (P) represent teachers in the Perry Township public
school system. Prior to 1977 both groups had access to interschool teacher mail systems. A
challenge to the PEA was mounted by the PLEA and an election was held by the Board and PEA
won and was certified as the exclusive representative as provided by Indiana law. As part of
its exclusive representation, PEA was given access to the school mailbox system and PLEA was
not. PLEA was not prevented from using other school facilities to communicate with the
teachers. PLEA sought an injunction. The court entered summary judgment for the defendants.
The Seventh Circuit held that the preferential treatment violated both Equal Protection and
the First Amendment and reversed. D appealed.
