On January 10, 2012, the Supreme Court heard oral argument in Knox v. SEIU. This case presents two questions. The first is whether a state may lawfully require that state employees who are not union members pay a special union assessment intended for ideological political expenditures, without first providing notice and an opportunity to object. The second question is whether a state my lawfully require that state employees who are not union members pay union fees to finance political expenditures for ballot measures.
