Death Blow: SCOTUS inflicts mortal wound on unions

We’ve thought for months that this might be coming, and both the public sector unions of America and their primary beneficiary – the Democratic Party – have been bracing for impact. BOOM. We have a direct hit. The Supreme Court ruled today that public-sector unions cannot force those not willing to join into paying dues. This practice has been the only thing keeping most public-sector unions alive, as more and more workers recognize that they exist to push a political agenda and not to serve the interests of their members. Why would you pay dues to an organization you don’t want to be part of, and that you don’t believe serves you in any positive way?
