SCOTUS just spanked the Public Sector Unions.

Now to stand up for religious freedom.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Nothing to do with "religious freedom". If it did, it would have included blood transfusions but its limited to contraception.

They said govt has to pay - iow - tax payers. Just another gift to big business.

Anyone surprised?

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Supreme Court says public sector unions can't collect fees from home health care workers who object to being affiliated with a union.

The justices on Monday said collecting the fees violates the First Amendment rights of workers who are not union members.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Supreme Court says corporations can hold religious objections that allow them to opt out of the new health law requirement that they cover contraceptives for women.

The justices' 5-4 decision Monday is the first time that the high court has ruled that profit-seeking businesses can hold religious views under federal law. And it means the Obama administration must search for a different way of providing free contraception to women who are covered under objecting companies' health insurance plans.

RIP middle class workers. Welcome to corporate America where you can be used like a whore and tossed aside when you try to ask for something better...wages,working conditions,hours. Its really starting to become where I am thinking of moving elsewhere...This country has become for the rich,paid for by the rich,backed up by tyrants in robes.

It's actually a win for middle class workers already suffering. Now they don't have to pay unions who were just picking their pockets anyway.

BULLSHIT! Unions are needed because large companies USE people for profit then fire them when they try and get better wages,working hours,or working conditions. Like I said. This country has become a haven for 1% criminals who are not LEGALLY allowed to BUY any politician or judge they can and get things done their way. The people either stand up and put a stop to it or watch legalized slavery return. This time under the guise of "working" and they depend on suckers like you and the tea party and other morons to support them.

These morons should read about what America was like before unions, but that would require learning.

This ruling affects so few people it's honestly not worth making a fuss about. Let's mush on...

CLEARLY you don't understand the case or the ruling. This has nothing to do with large companies but home health care workers taking care of family members.

The case was brought by Pamela Harris who was caretaker for her adult disabled son in her own home. She got paid by the state for being a caretaker for in home care rather than institutionalizing the man. Home health care workers were unionized. The union started taking dues out of her check. She didn't want to belong to a union. The union didn't protect her. The union did nothing for her. The union could not change her working conditions. Her greatest fear was that the union might call a strike and she would be prevented from caring for her son and might even be prohibited from going into her own home.

This ruling says that home health care workers don't have to belong to a union which is a huge benefit to everyone taking care of a disabled family member. Now they don't have to pay dues for no benefit whatsoever.

The last paragraph is why republicans like this ruling

The bolded is what the republicans like about gutting this. Now people can be free riders on what the unions get done but don't have to pay for it. Much like allowing big corporations to ride the coat tails of the work their workers produce and profit off things they make and sell but not giving the workers their due. Makes perfect sense.

Actually no. The unions cannot help these home health care workers. They cannot give them better working conditions. They cannot limit their hours or even get them overtime pay. They cannot give them better or different workplace safety requirements. The unions get fees and dues for doing basically nothing. And so the workers, led by Pamela Harris sued and won. Why do you hate to see the littlest of the little guy win one?

but that was their argument in front of scotus. That they got these workers better deals, and the workers even agreed that it happened. They just dont want to pay the dues.
so with that being said, Fuck the stay at home workers, they are part-time. They don't want to pay, then the unions dont have to fight for them.
It will be funny when they start getting fucked over and start whining about how the unions are not helping them now.

I dont mind this ruling, nor does it destroy unions at all.

There is no such thing as a part time care worker taking care of a disabled family member. It is 24/7. There is no such thing as a caregiver who is taking care of a disabled family member saying "It's 5 pm, time to kick off the shoes. I'm off duty."

I agree with the ruling. Even FDR was anti government unions.

The Supreme Court handed down its decision in Harris v. Quinn on Monday, saying partial public employees can't be required to contribute to unions.

And those not represented by the Union will forfeit benefits from collective bargaining? I doubt it.
