“The AFL-CIO has claimed to the union that the changes are needed due to a budget squeeze following the Supreme Court’s Janus v. AFSCME decision earlier this year. The court ruled that it was a violation of the First Amendment to require public sector workers to join or otherwise financially support a union as a condition of employment.
Government employee unions account for just under one half of the estimated 15 million people in organized labor, and unions expect many of those workers to stop paying dues as a result of the decision. The National Education Association, the nation’s largest teachers union, said in July it was cutting its budget by $28 million in response to the court ruling.”

WINNING. Funny how the union clowns kept fighting the Janus ruling because we all know even the most ardent pro-union socialist has nothing to gain paying union dues...
Schadenfreude.................it feels good.................
