Governing: For years, public-sector unions have been keenly aware of the possibility that their influence could take a hit if a court decision reversed the rules that govern their funding. That day came this summer, when the Supreme Court declared in Janus v. AFSCME that unions could no longer require non-members they represent to pay “agency fees” covering collective bargaining expenses. The decision, which overturned longstanding legal precedent, is widely expected to cut into union budgets and suppress membership.
But just how the ruling will play out remains uncertain, as does its effect on unions’ political power.
