Supreme Court Won’t Make Government Unions Give Back Unconstitutional Dues
While Mark Janus won a landmark legal victory in 2018 outlawing public-sector unions’ collection of forced agency fees from nonmembers, the Supreme Court has denied his follow-up request to have his money reimbursed, without granting him a hearing.
The new ruling in which the high court refused to consider the petition for certiorari in Janus v. AFSCME, which bears the same title of proceeding as the landmark ruling, came on Jan. 25. The court didn’t explain why it acted. No justices indicated they dissented from the decision.
The ruling, which leaves in place a decision by the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, is a victory for the labor movement. It came after the Supreme Court overturned Abood v. Detroit Board of Education (1977) in Janus’s earlier lawsuit in 2018, holding that public-sector unions couldn’t collect forced agency fees from nonmembers to finance their collective bargaining activities

Will there be guards stationed at all state office buildings or just the state capital on Second Street?
===Will there be guards stationed===
I think it is wise that all of us avoid being Illinois’ own Lauren Boebert. If anyone knows any specific details about security measures taken this weekend and next week, they should keep it to themselves and not post about it online, especially not in any kind of open forum.
Any word what the Supreme Court will do about it’s employees next week?
Heartbreaking that so many “patriots” are out there.
In typical CMS fashion, this policy is clear as mud. Because there is a threat to the Capitol (which i believe is real) employees in Chicago should stay home? what if you are an employee in Champaign or Carbondale? Is every town and city under the threat of impending violence? does this policy apply to only cms employees or all state employees.
