Preview: Janus v. American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees

Janus v. American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees is scheduled for oral argument in the Supreme Court on February 26. This important case will determine whether it is constitutional for public sector unions to require all employees to pay union fees regardless of their membership under the First Amendment. The ruling in Janus will also clarify whether the Court’s decision in Abood v. Detroit Board of Education to uphold these requirements will remain good law.
