Public Sector Unions On Trial
THE U.S. SUPREME Court will hear a case this term that could deliver a death blow to the legal privileges enjoyed by public sector unions.
The case is Janus v. American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, Council 31. At issue is whether it is constitutional for state governments to require government workers to pay union fees as a condition of employment, even when those workers are not themselves union members.
The case was brought by Mark Janus, a state employee in Illinois who objects to paying mandatory fees to a union that he refused to join. Janus argues that this violates his First Amendment rights by forcing him to financially support political speech and activity he does not agree with.

DEATH BY LIGHTNING
Mike Makowsky opens Death by Lightning, a four-part miniseries he wrote and produced, with a chilling line: “This is a true story about two men the world forgot. One was the 20th president of the United States. The other shot him.” Yet this drama about President James Garfield and assassin Charles Guiteau reminds us that we should wish for more forgettable presidents.
