Gilmore v. Gallego

Held that “release time” provisions contained in city employee union’s memorandum-of-understanding, which permit certain employees, while paid by the City, to be released from the duties for which they were hired to do, were unconstitutional under the state’s gift clause, because they were not supported by adequate compensation. The provisions did not, however, violate constitutional free-speech, free-association, or right-to-work protections.
