---On Monday, the Supreme Court heard arguments in a case that public sector unions fear could deal a heavy blow by potentially reducing their financial coffers and opening the door for declines in membership.
The case, Janus v. AFSCME Council 31, hinges on a 40-year-old precedent allowing public sector unions to charge non-members who benefit from collective bargaining. The outcome could affect the operations of public unions, which represent state and government employees and function as one of the strongest parts of the union movement.
A similar case, Friedrichs v. California Teachers Association, went before the Court in 2016 but resulted in a 4-4 split decision following the death of Justice Antonin Scalia. But with a full court, including Trump appointee Neil Gorsuch, a conservative majority is expected to overturn the precedent upheld by Abood v. Detroit Board of Education in 1977, effectively turning the public sector into a “right to work” zone.---
