Topics to be addressed:
1. Can a state government deny public sector employees the right to engage in collective bargaining - and is it fair and just to do so?
2. Can Congress lawfully require the states to extend such a right to collective bargaining, notwithstanding any contrary state law - and is it fair or just to do so?
