funny how everyone complains about “coporate” money in elections yet when it comes to union money there is silence...
A loss for the union leaders but a win for the union members. The members will finally have free speech rights!
EXCELLENT NEWS!!!
Wow! A 9-0 smackdown by SCOTUS really says alot about the quality of judges on the Wash. Supreme Court.
Unions operate on intimidation. It will be easy to get permission one way or another. You can imagine what kind of treatment a worker will receive if he refuses to give his permission.
Second, notice that this applies to “public employees.”
Unions have steadily lost membership in the private sector over the years. States with Right to Work Laws and the fact that more people have caught on to union corruption have thinned the ranks.
Unions have long since learned that they can easily organize government workers. Government workers are inherently more susceptible to being organized into lock-step. In addition, government negotiators who deal with unions are not using their own money. It’s easier to give in to union demands while meeting in Hawaii than to fight for the taxpayers’ money.
So this does not mean very much.
great news
