An Everett custodian has filed legal complaints against her employer and union, alleging they violated her constitutional rights by stealing union dues from her paycheck after she had resigned.

Xena Davidson, employed by the city of Everett, claims that both the city and the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) have unlawfully seized dues from her wages for months.

Mark Mix, President of the , which is representing Davidson, joined “The Jason Rantz Show鈥 on KTTH, saying the case is straightforward.聽

鈥淴ena did everything right. She followed the proper procedures to resign and stop paying union dues, yet the city of Everett continued deducting money from her paycheck and forwarding it to the union,鈥 Mix said. 鈥淣ow, both the city and the union are refusing to return those funds.鈥

Everett allegedly started ripping off dues in June 2024

According to Mix, the deductions began in June 2024 and continued through February 2025, despite documented evidence of Davidson鈥檚 formal resignation from the union. The case has now been brought before the Washington Public Employment Relations Commission (PERC), which has issued a 鈥渃ause of action鈥 statement. Mix said the statement is a strong indication that officials believe the complaint has legal merit.

AFSCME and the city of Everett have blamed each other for the ongoing deductions. Mix argues that both parties are 鈥渃ulpable鈥 and accuses them of engaging in what amounts to coordinated action against Davidson鈥檚 First Amendment rights.

Critics of current union practices say cases like Davidson鈥檚 are just the tip of the iceberg. Mix noted that for every worker who steps forward, many more may be unaware of their rights or afraid to take action.

“They鈥檒l keep violating the law until they鈥檙e forced to stop,鈥 Mix said.聽鈥淲e鈥檙e going to win this case, and we鈥檒l keep fighting until these violations stop.鈥
