The Supreme Court has delivered a devastating blow to public-sector labor unions, ruling 5-4 that they cannot collect fees from non-members, the Washington Post reports.
“The case has major implications for the future of organized labor, which has become a pillar of Democratic Party politics, and for the millions of workers in the nearly half of states that authorize payments from nonmembers to cover the cost of collective bargaining.”
Axios: “The public sector is one of the last bastions of labor’s strength — about 34% of government workers are unionized, compared with just 6.5% of the private sector. But this ruling could shrink those rolls significantly.”
