The National Right to Work Foundation (NRTWF) is demanding the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) refund up to $100 million in union fees to California state workers. The move follows the Supreme Courts Janus v. AFSCME decision banning unions from automatically deducting fees from non-members paychecks.
The NRTWF announced that the Janus decision strengthens its class-action suit, titled Hamidi et al. v. Service Employees Union International, Local 1000, filed on behalf of 40,000 California state employees. The lawsuit seeks refunds for non-union workers whose pay was seized by SEIU officials who have claimed since 2012 that only public workers who affirmatively opt out of the union can avoid being charged full union dues.
NRTWF quoted from the Janus ruling: [N]either an agency fee nor any other payment to the union may be deducted from a nonmembers wages, nor may any other attempt be made to collect such a payment, unless the employee affirmatively consents to pay.

It is very satisfying to see Justice being brought to these criminals. For the last 30 years the only people getting fined are people who produced jobs and try to make this world better
SEIU is the most militant and half-crazed union I’ve ever had to deal with.
Probably too late - it’s already been “donated” to Clinton, McCain, Bush and Obama foundations.
I would like to see a refund for the portion of my dues which were used for political contributions since they were always for Democrats.
SEIU have ruined Las Vegas.

And Harry Reid.
