A hearing is scheduled for the landmark Supreme Court labor case Janus v. AFSCME on February 26th. The issue at hand are the “fair share” laws in 22 states that require workers covered under a collectively bargained employment agreement to pay union dues. In 2016, a similar case ended in a 4-4 tie after Justice Scalia’s passing. If the Supreme Court rules in favor of Janus, labor unions will be forced to take a massive economic loss, and the entire U.S. will be subject to right-to-work laws.
