Janus v AFSCME
Posted: 17 Apr 2018, 00:26
What are your thoughts regarding the US Supreme Court case Janus v AFSCME? It deals with non-union members being forced to pay unions dues (edit: public sector unions) and whether that violates the First Amendment.
If I had to guess I'd say the Court will rule in favor of Janus now that Gorsuch is on the Court but I'd like to know what ESOC thinks of the merits of the case.
Lots of information here, including the petitioner and respondent briefs: http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/ca ... ouncil-31/
