“some Connecticut unions are working behind the scenes to limit members’ ability to opt out. “

Not unlike a criminal street gang.

Public sector unions have no business being in existence, period.

This is horrible! Without extorted fees from high paid gov workers, how will they fund the Democrat Party???

After 11 years as a right-to-work State, lass than 7% of Indianapolis Public Schools teachers pay union dues, and the Democrat party has all but ceased to exist outside of Chicagoland and Indianapolis.

It would be nice to see Fed employee unions bled out.

Public employee unions should be illegal.

Public sector unions should be disbanded. Union membership in private sector should be voluntary. Entirely.

Only decision this week was Ohio voter list ruling in Monday.
Do have to wait until next Monday , or 25th for final decisions?
I remember past June’s with decisions released other days of week... and more than 1 in a day.

I do not understand the idea that 4 of the justices (I know they are liberal) still find something in the constitution that allows a private company (the union) to dock (dues) your federal pay. Even if you do not want to be a part of the union.

There is absolutely no sense to what they are saying and how they are doing it. How do they sleep at night knowing they are twisting the law in this way? How do they mentally square that circle?

the public sector is the largest bastion of union power in the United States, and leaders worry a significant number of members will opt out if they no longer have to pay agency fees.

Sounds like a good plan.

One of my old college professors got this ball rolling back in the early 80’s when I was taking his classes. To his credit, we had no idea he was a named plaintiff in a case that at that time was going through the appeals courts.

SCOTUS rules in their favor eventually.

the case centered around forced political donations and that the plaintiffs didn’t want to support democrat causes.

Keep your fingers crossed. I would give anything to get out of my union which has done absolutely nothing for me but limit the number of courses I can teach and suck money out of my paycheck!
