The recent Supreme Court ruling on Janus VS. AFSCME has put another nail in the coffin for middle class America as it makes union dues optional for employers with unionized workers. Unions will lose money and can no longer lobby for workers' rights with the employers themselves as well as local and federal governments. This overturns the Abood decision made back in the 1970's that made it legal to charge dues.
It is odd for the Supreme Court to overturn a long standing decision, which only highlights the calculated planning of the rich to throw us back into the middle-ages.
I still don't understand how charging mandatory union dues limits free speech. A company does not represent the whole country, and with only 7% of American workers unionized there are plenty of places to work that do not have unions. If you don't like working where there is a union shop there are plenty of places to work that do not have them, your freedom of speech is left perfectly intact. This whole thing has been a farce to further hobble the American middle class and to turn us all into paupers.
