The Supreme Court has ruled in the case of Janus v. AFSCME that public employees can't be coerced to pay dues to public sector unions, which lobby on behalf of a wide range of left-wing causes and funnel significant amounts of dues to Democratic candidates.
Astonishingly, some libertarians have expressed opposition to the
right-to-work provision of the Taft Hartley Act (an amendment to the
National Labor Relations Act). As a matter of common sense, allowing
employees to opt out of unions is a major blow both to the Democratic Party
and to statism. Today's landmark decision is related not to right-to-work laws
but to public sector employees, who are covered by state labor laws.
A
significant reduction in public employee dues money may result. The decision will hamstring the Democrats and reduce the pressure
that the unions can bring to expand Medicaid, prisons, and
similar big government policies.
