Would be a train on-- drain on staff and im currently at the bargaining table with our university. if you dont think that the employers think about who are members of the union and who are not, youd be fooling yourself. that they really-- >> the people on the other side would say they use it to divide and conquer. >> i dont see this case as being about mark janus or rebecca fredericks or free speech. this has been a well-funded campaign by billionaires and corporate interest to undermine the las...

You will, just like whether youre a car manufacturer or, you know, a dishwasher manufacturer or any other product thats out there. theyre going to have to convey to the membership that they have a product that people are going to want to participate and voluntarily join. and lets be clear. this is something that is not going to affect the collective bargaining from the point they still can. theyll still have their federal membership and when you look on the federal side. the federal side dont ha...

>> all right, the other side of that court case that mark janus helped win and former communications member of america, carla, its been some years since we chatted. >> good to see you. neil: you dont like the supreme court decision? >> no, no, this decision was not only wrong, i dont think it was about free speech. it was about a political attack on workers freedom to join unions. neil: are not join. >> and on workers generally. i mean, this is a weird situation now where unions are the only pri...

Court signaled in years past that it was ready to correct that and that it finally took that step yesterday. steve: mark, this wasnt a political decision for you. its really about your first amendment rights, right? >> oh, absolutely. you know, the first amendment is a contract with the people of the united states. and it says that i have the right of freedom of association. and, unfortunately, with these agency fees and the way it was set up in illinois and also many other states, there is 22 a...

If people want to voluntarily join a union and they want to voluntarily pay the dues, i think its good for that individual and that union, why should i, as a condition of employment be forced to pay a fee in order to just work in a public sector area? steve: yeah, mark, thats the way they have been doing it for decades. >> it doesnt nestle mean its right. steve: you are right about that. jacob, what about this particular case do you think appealed to the supreme court with the 5-4 verdict that t...

So say yesss! to help for recurring constipation. yesss! to help for belly pain. talk to your doctor and say yesss! linzess. >> shannon: in what would have been the top story from the supreme court today, 5-4 decision, just as his ruling against public center unions in the case of an illinois state government employee. mark janus. he didnt want to be forced to pay union fees to an organizations clinical messages he may or may not support. its a decision that could impact millions of public-secto...

Steve: thanks, ainsley. a fox news alert. justice kennedys decision below a blow to labor. public employees cannot be forced to pay union labor fees if they dont want to. a major victory for our next guest. and illinois state employee who says being forced to hand over a weekly portion of his paycheck is a violation of his constitutional rights. joining us right now is the plaintiffs in that case mark janice along with his attorney jacob huber they are joining -- it looks like they are at the li...

Whats happening right now vindicates our decision to choose donald trump as president. i believe the never trump movement, the sliver of it, still in evangelicalism, he shut up forever. >> shannon: do you think evangelicals turn out this fall? theres always a lack of energy in the midterms for the president and the midterm or his party. do you think they will wake up and show up? >> i think on a well-trained i think they whats at stake him and i would really encourage the president and mitch mcc...

In order to nominate an aggressively antiunion justice. make no mistake. the nomination of neil gorsuch was first and foremost about winning the janus case and taking rights away from workers. jacob, how do you respond to that? because i dont think that was the only factor in play there but it is strange to say this case is about billionaires when the plaintiff in this case is a man, mark janus, not a billionaire. what weve had in this country is a scheme where unions have been taking money from...

Them. >> well, thats correct. but, also, we did try to get an accounting and we tried to get some information, but, you know, it was so vague and so nebulous and this it was hard to understanding where my money was actually going. and thats one of the problems i had. if there was a good accounting of it, you know, it may have been a little bit better. but it just never occurred. steve: sure. jacob, final question. they are suggesting that perhaps some teachers unions could lose up to a third of ...
