At issue are so-called “fair share” fees that nonmembers pay unions to help cover the costs of contract negotiations.

Interesting. "Fair share" fees.

To me, that is analogous to requiring every American to pay a certain amount each year to the NRA, whether or not they are a member. After all, the NRA fights for everyone's right to keep and bear arms - even those who do not wish to exercise it.

Yep, that’s a good analogy.

I have a relative involved with public employee unions that says they’re scared to death Janus will win this case, says it’ll put a real dent in their slush funds.

So now outright theft is called "giving your fair share".

Fair is foul, and foul is fair...

Interesting analogy. The argument is that the collective bargaining agreement covers all employees, even those not in the union, so all should share costs in getting it. I always objected to such compulsory “donations” on the basis that people are not allowed to opt out of the collective bargaining agreement. Saying they have no option but to defer to the union to decide their compensation is bad enough, saying that they have to pay for that privilege just adds insult to injury.
