Public-sector workers are preparing class action lawsuits against the unions they have been forced to pay dues to pending the outcome of a U.S. Supreme Court case, The Washington Free Beacon reports.
The court is expected to issue a decision on Janus v. American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) in a matter of days. Depending on the ruling, millions of public-sector workers could be exempted from paying “agency†fees to unions they are not members of.
In effect, the case is a rehearing of Friedrichs v. California Teachers Association, which the court split 4-4 on last year after the death of late Justice Antonin Scalia. Justice Neil Gorsuch was appointed and confirmed to replace Scalia and is expected to rule that mandatory “agency†fees are unconstitutional.

I forgot about the 4-4 decision minus Scalia. If the unions lose, let loose the dogs of war.
