On June 27, the storm clouds were gathering. The Janus
v. ASFCME decision had just come down from the U.S. Supreme
Court in a 5-4 ruling, overturning 40 years of legal precedent
and marking the abrupt end of union fair share, or agency fee,
for public employees.
Now non-union members who benefit from the hard work of unions
who still represent them at the bargaining table would no longer
be required to pay their fair share.
