High court rules in teacher union case

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court today ruled 5 to 4 today that public employees who are not union members do not have to pay so-called agency fees. The much anticipated case, some fear, could permanently handicapped the power of public unions, particularly teacher’s unions. Janus v. American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, Council 31 could have immediate impact in 22 states that allow public unions to charge fees to non union members because they benefit from collective bargaining that the union provides. Justice Alito issued the opinion in the much anticipated case.
