SCOTUS is poised to rule on
whether public sector unions can collect fees from workers who aren't union
members. The argument for is that that
the union negotiates the contract for all workers (specifically home health
care workers in Illinois), so they all should share in the cost of that work.
Services received should be paid
for sounds reasonable to me. Collecting of dues from no union members may
not technically be forced closed shop”but it is close.
I think the real question the non union works and the courts
need to address is whether all workers in a particular industry or business represented
by unions MUST fall under the collective bargaining agreement negotiated by the
Union.
Should not all workers have the option to operate as a free
agent and negotiate their own contract (if that is their choice)?
