Lawyers argued before the Supreme Court Monday that having to pay dues to public sector unions violates the First Amendment. A roundup of editorials Thursday takes a look at the issue.
Opinions from the left:
From The Los Angeles Times: Will the Supreme Court side against unions on the fees? It sounded like they might, and that would be a big mistake.
2. America’s unions could be dismantled. Progressives must unite now
From The Guardian: When will we put people before profits? Unions give the average worker a fair shot at a living wage.
3. Janus case is part of continuing attack on workers
From Jesse Jackson: Public sector unions represent everyone, whether they belong to the union or not. Those allowed to opt out of dues will still be represented.
