#8 Union Dues and Don'ts Aug 16, 2018

Show notes

In the past, public employees refusing to join the union were often required to pay "fair share" fees, sometimes amounting to 80% of a full union member's dues. That recently changed with the Supreme Court's decision in Janus v. AFSCME, and Ancel Glink's Matt DiCianni joins us for a special meeting to talk about this important case. Local government employers and employees can read more about this decision at http://workplacereport.ancelglink.com, and send us questions and show ideas at podcast@ancelglink.com!
