U.S. Supreme Court rules against unions over non-member fees WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday dealt a blow to organized labor, ruling that non-members cannot be forced in certain states to pay fees to unions representing public employees such as teachers and police, shutting off a key union revenue source.

On a 5-4 vote powered by the court's conservative majority, the justices overturned a 1977 Supreme Court precedent that had allowed the so-called agency fees that are collected from millions of non-union workers in lieu of union dues to fund non-political activities like collective bargaining.

The ruling means that the estimated 5 million non-union workers who pay these fees will no longer have to do so.

The court ruled that forcing non-members to pay agency fees to unions whose views they may oppose violates their rights to free speech and free association under the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment.

Writing for the court, conservative Justice Samuel Alito said that while the ruling "may cause unions to experience unpleasant transition costs in the short term" that must be weighed against "how many billions of dollars have been taken from nonmembers and transferred to public-sector unions in violation of the First Amendment."

The four liberal justices dissented.

Give it 5 mins and ClownLicker will be in here to deflect from the subject

I told everyone as soon as Trump had his Supreme Court under control, Trump can't be stopped. He'll add at least two more super conservative Judges to court by the end of reign as President, the libtard movement will be shut down by the highest court in the land, the party is over. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Now that's what you call a "legacy"...

Agree, Trump has astonished everyone including me! The dude does produce.

In a job long ago, they actually took union dues out without any action or permission from the employee.

What they said was, hey, you get some benefit because the union will help you somewhere down the road if you need it.

But it just seems wrong to deduct union dues if a person doesn't want that done.

Doesn't it just seem almost like stealing?
