The U.S. Supreme Court has scheduled for conference a case that could determine whether public employees will be refunded hundreds of millions of dollars in union dues taken out of their paychecks against their will.
At the conference, scheduled for June 18, justices could discuss whether to schedule a hearing for oral arguments in the followup to the court's historic Janus vs. AFSCME decision.
Staff attorneys at the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation filed their final reply briefs in the continuation of Janus v. AFSCME on May 22.
In the case, the Supreme Court ruled that forcing public employees to pay fees to a union they don't want to join is an unconstitutional violation of their First Amendment right to freedom of association.
