I am doing the dance of joy.
I am surprised by this ruling as I think the unions had a valid point, all the works in a union shop benefit from what the union negotiates, unless non-union people are settling for less. Not that I am that big a fan of unions, but over time, mostly long ago, they had their place.
It’s a very limited decision that doesn’t affect 99.9% of public employee unions.
Better than nothing.
Better and better today!
Does this cover ALL public sector unions or just the health care workers?
If so between this and Citizens United the dems must really be pooping their pants right now....
Good. but there’s a long way to go.
Obama administration was specifically on the losing side on this one too (Solicitor General was an amicus curiae for the public sector unions/state of Illinois).
Unions=Democrat Party. *evil grin*
Two good rulings from the SCOTUS...
Huh.
I hope this doesn’t mean they are going to screw us over on the next gun control case they see.
When I was a young lass I worked for AT&T. Back then AT&T was everything telephones; cell phones were a distant dream.
Anyway, we had a union, the CWA, communication Workers of America. When I was hired you did not have to “join” the union, or pay dues.
Exactly almost the day I started work a new ruling came down, I think it was a state thing. It was what was called, heh, at the time....an AGENCY shop.
You didn’t have to JOIN the union, so went the logic, but you HAD TO PAY DUES!
Well I got an attitude cause if I have to pay dues I for sure was going to JOIN the union.
I did and for the next 15 years I drove the company nuts....as a shop steward you must smile.
I guess the AGENCY shop is no more?
Heh....and trust there’s a lot of folks like me who don’t like the union but get involved cause they HAVE to pay dues.
Almost every teacher I know despises their union but that’s just anecdotal.
This is a major blow to the unions and come on, workers belonging to unions are no more than 10-15% of the population. It’s like these thugs own us.
Life is good....
Unions expect to be ‘paid off’ by democrat for all that astro turf work they do... Sorry goons... the Supreme Court’s not on the take...
Good. Elections matter, folks...The ONLY constitutionalist justices on SCOTUS are there because of REPUBLICAN presidents.
I realize that Rs do MESS UP...but not all the time. DEMONRAT occupants of the Oval Office ALWAYS give us liberal SCOTUS clowns.
Consider: how often does a DEMOCRAT appointed justice provide the “fifth vote” in a decision? I am sure it happens, but I am also sure it is RARE.
It’s a good day to be a Christian and a conservative. I am going to enjoy this to the fullest.
This is the beginning of the end for the teachers’ unions. It’s about time.
It is frightening to me to see so many 5-4 ideologically divided decisions by the 9 robed ones.
5 to 4 SCOTUS decisions and people here celebrate.
If Harry Reid keeps running the Senate and one of the five Justices that Vote our way dies, the next Obama Appointee will change the Court and these 5 to 4 Decisions will swing the other way for the next 20 Years.
Yet we have people here who will Vote for the Democrat because the Republican doesn’t meet their standards.
No matter, the Democrats will keep the Senate and the crap will continue until Hillary is sworn in to Office.
I’m not arguing the point, facts are facts, period.
The politicians who forced those people into the union should all go to jail.
