Two dozen states had required agency fees. The ruling means that the estimated 5 million non-union workers for state and local governments who have paid them can stop

i think it's in the terms of their employment

so they're agreeing to it

but yeah it's still fucked

Unions contend that mandatory agency fees are needed to eliminate the problem of what they call “free riders” - non-members who benefit from union representation, for example through salary and working conditions obtained in collective bargaining - without paying for it.

now that's greedy

it's a scam

I don't want to do something that benefits someone else

always has been

they have to pay me if it incidentally benefits someone else

they're socialists

I'm going to use the coercion of the state

they want the gibs

and the people up top are feeding everyone a line of shit

about how much they do for them

they basically tell these guys they're paying into a pension

and take like 15-20% of their pay

but guess what

that pension isn't gonna be there in 30 years when you retire

ya fuckin mook

why pay into a pension of some asshole

just take your money and put it in a 401k or something

because these guys are too stupid for that

let a proper investment firm handle it

true enough

"I'm sticking up for the little guy by robbing him blind'

some of them make like 120k a year at age 30 and they spend it on cars, alcohol, and drugs

these people are scum

what do union workers and guns have in common

if they don't work, you can't fire them

I wonder how much money these fucking unions were pilfering from the taxpayer

they still are

the companies end up basically forced to use them

The justices heard arguments in a similar case in 2016 involving non-union California public school teachers, and appeared poised to overturn the 1977 precedent. But conservative Justice Antonin Scalia’s death weeks later left the court with an even split of conservatives and liberals. Its subsequent 4-4 decision failed to resolve the legal question.

otherwise nobody would pay these morons $40/hr to bolt shit to the floor

I think I know how scalia died

Imagine being this disconnected
