An Illinois healthcare worker's
legal challenge of mandatory union dues from public employees reaches a
climax on Monday when the U.S. Supreme Court is due to rule in the case
at the final session of its nine-month term.
If the justices agree with the sweeping argument made by home
healthcare worker Pamela Harris that compulsory union dues are forced
association and speech prohibited by the U.S. Constitution's First
Amendment, it would essentially establish a national right-to-work law
and deliver a blow to public employee unions.
The case, Harris v. Quinn, seeks to upend the decades-old practice of
including so-called fair-share, agency or union-security clauses in
collective bargaining agreements.
