Supreme Court sides with workers, Unions lose another court ruling.

[h=1]Labor union loses high court fight over fees for 'political' purposes.[/h]"The 7-2 decision is a victory for Dianne Knox, a California state employee, who sought to opt out of a $12 million assessment imposed by the Service Employees International Union Local 1000. She did not belong to SEIU, unlike most of her fellow government workers.

State law allows unions to charge nonmembers annual dues -- called "fair share fees" -- to help support the collective bargaining efforts on behalf of all government workers, including the majority of workers who belong to the SEIU."

The Supreme Court decision comes on the heals of Governor Scott Walker's landslide victory over Wisconsin's public unions.
It's looking more and more like Americans are getting sick and tired of public unions sucking the life out of our private sector economy.

I think it's only a matter of time before public unions will be a thing of the past, all i have to say is, good riddance.

Public unions are killing our economy, look what it's done to California!

Unions were essential decades ago, workers are no longer regarded as slaves so they are a bit on the obsolete side, weak talking point imo.

There's a big difference between public and private unions, public unions have to go.

On the other hand, if Americans choose to join a private sector union and companies agree to hire them, that is between the union, the workers and the company.

I think the unions should focus on enslaving machines so that more people can just go surfing everyday.
