INTERVIEW – MARK MIX — President of the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation @RightToWork
- Supremes deal sharp defeat to public employee unions, banning mandatory fees…The Supreme Court dealt a major blow to public sector unions on Wednesday in a case that could shake their financial structure and undermine their future stability. The justices struck down an Illinois law that required non-union workers to pay fees that go to collective bargaining and overturned a 1977 law that required employees to pay so-called “fair share” fees. The ruling was 5-4 along familiar ideological lines, with conservative Justice Samuel Alito writing for the majority in a case that highlights how the blocking of President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee has dramatically changed the legal and political landscape.
