In Janus v. AFSCME, Council 31, 138 S. Ct. 2448, 2486 (2018), this Court held that no payment to a union may be deducted from a nonmembers' paycheck unless a government employee "affirmatively consents" to waive her First Amendment rights not to pay money to a union.
The question in this case is:
Whether a n employee's signature on a uni on membership card and dues deduction authorization by itself authorizes a government employer and public -sector union to withhold union dues or other fees from an employee's wages consistent with this Court's affirmative consent waiver requirement set forth in Janus ?
