This is brutal news for public sector unions, tends to oppose earlier precedent andd I will be interested to see in particular Scalia had voted since he had supported union dues in previous cases.
Maybe because non-members also get to enjoy the benefits, therefore they should be paying their "fair share"?
In a private sense, I agree with you, as far as public sector unions which see both sides essentially aligned against the taxpayer...I am more hesitant.
Does this make the right to work debate a mute point - if a person can not be forced to pay union dues?
No because the decision was not so broad. It wont apply to most public workers.
