Pick a state, any state where rank-and-file public employees differ with the political agenda of their union leadership, and they can make a clean break from the union if they choose.
That’s because the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that nonunion government workers can’t be compelled to pay dues or other fees to support a union.
A year after that decision, though, attorneys and policy analysts who spoke with The Daily Signal say they find that too many Americans remain unaware of their First Amendment rights in the workforce.
They also express concern that union operatives and their allies in government are pushing legislation to undermine the high court’s 5-4 decision on June 27, 2018, in ( Janus v. American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees.)

Did SCOTUS rule “against unions” or for workers?
In California the state employees still need to get permission from the union to stop paying dues. I think it is Right to Work that is suing to overthrow the law that gives the union this power.
Apparently, not much.
Like most things that Leftists disagree with, they simply seem to have ignored it. They still seem perfectly able and willing to gouge people who don't want anything to do with them.
If we did the same, they would scream bloody murder, it would be in the media, in the courts, and we would be forced at the point of law to comply...as we should be if it is legal.
That is who we are. We respect rulings. They don't.
And they are never called to account for ignoring it.
“Know your rights..... “
Yeah, but also, “know your local union goons!” Having “won your right” not to join a union, now the trick is to keep your teeth!
