This is fscked - from Business Insider:
The Supreme Court just handed a major victory to America's unions
The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday split 4-4 on a conservative legal challenge to a vital source of funds for organized labor, affirming a lower-court ruling that allowed California to force non-union workers to pay fees to public-employee unions.
The court, shorthanded after the Feb. 13 death of conservative Justice Antonin Scalia and evenly divided with four liberal and four conservative members, left intact a 1977 legal precedent that allowed such fees, which add up to millions of dollars a year for unions.
Which means that the unions can continue to plow these millions into political contributions - in direct violation of Federal Statutes. This decision is so wrong. Unions had their place but they have failed to evolve and are now hurting the american worker.
