Corporate-Funded Groups Continue Campaign to Cripple Public Sector Unions
Right-wing groups sue union in Illinois to collect millions in retroactive “fair share” fees.
by Don Wiener | May 28, 2019
The same corporate-funded groups that bankrolled a successful ten-year campaign to cripple public employee unions by having the U.S. Supreme Court strike down “fair share” fees for nonmembers in Janus v. AFSCME last year are now suing to retroactively recover fees paid before the Court’s ruling.
This is the latest move in the right-wing’s quest to “defund and defang” public sector unions with a goal of delivering a “mortal blow” to progressive politics, and mirrors similar “clawback” suits filed across the country over the past year.
