Trump Gloats as Supreme Court Continues Attack on Liberal Values in 5-4 Anti-Union Decision
The U.S. Supreme Court dealt a devastating blow to public employee unions in its latest 5-4 decision across ideological lines. The Roberts court just ruled that public employee unions cannot force non-members to pay dues, despite their efforts to bargain with employers for all workers.
As usual, President Trump got the facts totally wrong, claiming that unions decide who their members and non-members have to vote for.
Supreme Court rules in favor of non-union workers who are now, as an example, able to support a candidate of his or her choice without having those who control the Union deciding for them. Big loss for the coffers of the Democrats!

The decision has nothing to do with political lobbying efforts. It is focused on collective bargaining dues.
