The U.S. Supreme Court is due on Wednesday to rule in a major case that threatens a key source of revenue for organized labor, a challenge to the legality of fees that non-union workers in certain states are required to pay to unions representing public employees such as teachers and police.
|
|
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court handed organized labor a major victory on Tuesday, deadlocking 4 to 4 in a case that had threatened to cripple the ability of public-sector unions to collect fees from workers who chose not to join and did not want to pay for the unions' collective bargaining activities.
|

Mass picketing has vanished from the arsenal of organized labor, dwindling in the 1950s and '60s in the wake of the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947 — which put new restrictions on the power and activities of labor — and rendered ineffective by deindustrialization as well as legal prohibitions in the 1970s and '80s.

"There have been 40 years where corporations have bought this government, and those 40 years have meant a 40-year attack on the rights of working people and specifically on organized labor," Steyer said in his most memorable exchange, in which he agreed with Sanders, the candidate who doesn't think billionaires should exist.

While evidence supporting or contradicting that assertion has yet to surface, salting—the act of getting a job at a specific workplace for the purpose of getting a union off the ground there—is a perfectly legal and time-honored tactic of organized labor, if that is the reason for Moran's continued employment at Tesla.

Certainly it joins other positive signs for organized labor, along with the defeat of public-sector union bargaining cutbacks in a 2011 referendum in Ohio; the recent teachers' strikes in red states like Oklahoma and West Virginia; the wave of unionization in media; and minimum-wage increase campaigns that have succeeded in many major cities.

Union density—the percentage of American workers who belong to one—peaked at over a third of the total labor force in the mid-1950s, thanks in part to a sort of pact between business and organized labor after World War II.
