Oh,Oh! The Dems need a War and they need it now! As you have noticed, they don't mind, making war on their own kind, because they consider themselves Superior. They have managed to get the children, back into the "Slave Trade" with easier access,that they demanded. Who knows what will happen next! The need for Money, may force them to "Expose" themselves a bit more.
Supreme Court Rules Against Unions Mandatory Fees: "Big Loss For Coffers Of Democrats"
In a 5-4 ruling Tuesday, The Supreme Court ruled that public sector unions for state and local employees can't force non-members to pay a "fair-share" union fee.
SCOTUS ruled that the extraction of agency fees from non-consenting public sector employees violates the First Amendment.
As Hill relates: The case centers on an Illinois law, similar to those in 22 other states, that allow public-sector unions to collect a “fair-share fee” from employees for non-political activities like collective bargaining, regardless of whether those employees belong to the union or not.
Mark Janus, a state child support specialist at the center of the case, argued against having to give up about $45 from each paycheck to the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Council 31. Doing so, he said, violates his First Amendment rights because it forces him to support the union’s messaging.
The union, AFSCME, argues it needs the “fair-share” funds to offset the significant costs it incurs negotiating working conditions for all employees. State laws allowing unions to collect these fees are justified, the union said, to avoid a situation where nonunion members get a "free ride."
