The U.S. Supreme Court declined to revive Alaska’s policy allowing state workers to opt out of paying union dues.
The court refused to hear the state’s appeal, upholding a lower court ruling that found union dues collection did not violate workers’ free speech rights.
This decision aligns with the court’s conservative majority, which has shown a tendency to limit union power.
The case is part of a broader effort to expand on the court’s 2018 ruling in Janus v. AFSCME, which prohibited requiring non-union government workers to pay fees for collective bargaining.
Alaska’s lawsuit against a public-sector union, backed by other Republican-led states and conservative groups, sought to change the process for workers to opt out of paying union dues, arguing it violated their First Amendment rights.
