U.S. Top Court Rules Against Public Unions Over In-Home Care Workers
By Lawrence Hurley | Jul 01, 2014 08:57 AM EDT
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday ruled that in-home care workers in Illinois who are paid by the state cannot be compelled to pay union dues.
The court held on a 5-4 vote that the free speech and free association rights of the workers were violated but the scope of the ruling was limited because the justices decided not to upend a decades-old practice that lets public-sector unions collect money from workers who do not want union representation.
