The Supreme Court last summer broke a monopoly of public union, and what do you know? The unions are learning how to compete and operate as a business.


The National Association of Education (NEA) has lost 87,000 taxpayers since the Supreme Court Jano decision freed non-members to subsidize trade union political defense. before Jano, trade unions could force non-members to pay "agency fees" to support collective bargaining and related activities, including conventions. No longer.


The defectors of the agency fees represent less than 3% of the NEA membership that pays the fees, but the loss has forced the union to eliminate its budget. The NEA this year cut $ 50 million. Mike Antonucci at the74million.org says the union has proposed to reduce its annual convention by two days, hold virtual meetings and eliminate an exhibition where organizations offer hawk services.



Remember the warnings that reducing agency fees would spell the death of government unions. These apocalyptic predictions have not been resolved, and instead unions are working harder to find budget efficiencies and engage members. In California, the union membership of the state government has increased modestly since Janus


"It was not this big stampede that maybe our opponents expected it to be," said Eric Heins, president of the California Teachers Association. A spokesperson for the California Federation of Labor told Sacramento Bee this week that "We had a concerted campaign across the labor movement to really show members the value of their union, and I think we are now seeing the value of that campaign." Contemplate the beauty of a freer labor market.
