“A recent survey by AFSCME of its 1.6?million members found that only 35?percent of them would definitely pay dues if not required to do so.”

And that would quickly drop to zero once they discovered their "brothers" weren't paying the tributes.

I work in a "mixed shop" meaning that there are both represented (union) and unrepresented employees there (I'm proudly non-union). I've seen several contract cycles and the increasing irritation of union shills getting screwed by their reps. They are slowly catching on to the fraud and racketeering that has been perpetrated against them.

Non-public sector unions are dying a well-deserved death. I wish the public-sector unions would die even faster!

I suspect they will, now, if Janus prevails. Government at all levels has been a closed shop since Kennedy made public employee unions legal. But with unusual legal protections, public employees don't really need unions, and most are sufficiently secure in their jobs that they won't pay if they don't have to.

A favorable Janus decision could seriously alter the political landscape as monster union contributions dry up.
