Today's ruling in Janus vs. AFSCME undermines the basic premise, held up by courts for over 4 decades, that if a union represents all employees in negotiating & administering a collective bargaining agreement, then all employees ought to share the costs of that representation.

We cannot ignore that this decision is part of an ongoing trend of the Roberts Court that has repeatedly sided with employers over employees, corporations over consumers, and special interests over vulnerable Americans.

Congress must act to bolster the American labor movement that built the middle class of this country. It is up to all of us to fight to protect the ability of working families to make a living wage and pursue the American dream now more than ever.

But I don’t want them to take $45 a paycheck away. That can be used for investment, for family night, for vacation or retirement. I know it’s just
#CRUMBS to Congress but it’s real $$$ to families. Labor law has remedied the issues such that unions are obsolete. -
If you think unions are obsolete, you’ve never had a dispute with your employer over unfair labor practices. Others have done that work for you, but it’s all in danger of being completely eroded away

Agreed. But the problem is if there is a raise in wages, every single thing rises in cost to the consumer. You want people to "live/realize the American dream" something's has to give. Everyone wants enjoy to fruits of their labor, but how can they?

Private sector yes! Public sector no! If we can’t fire teachers for sexual harassment, statutory rape or subverting their responsibilities to students because of teacher unions, that needs to be changed.

The key is "fair." When you have zero skills, you get what is commensurate. Unions are dying because they are greedy, money laundering organizations.

Forcing people to pay union fees.... stop being a nanny. Let people decide.

Without unions, kids would still be shoveling coal into furnaces 16hrs a day for the privilege of half a loaf of day-old bread for their efforts. Enjoy weekends? Thank a union.
-
Well they’ve outlived their usefulness. Forcing people to be in unions isn’t democratic. You also assume society wouldn’t have progressed without them. I have more faith in individuals.
-
Yeah, individuals are great. Corporate greed is not. Regulations are in place because of the short cuts that individuals decided to take on behalf of their bottom line at the expense of the community. Your faith is irrelevant.
