"When a public-sector union imposes a special assessment or dues increase, the union must provide a fresh ... notice and may not exact any funds from nonmembers without their affirmative consent," Alito said.
In any event, even a full refund would not undue the First Amendment violations, since the First Amendment does not permit a union to extract a loan from unwilling nonmembers even if the money is later paid back in full.
I dunno folks - it's beginning to look like the union is catching on to the public sector union scams that have been operating unfettered for the last few decades. First the cradle of the "progressive" movement retains a governor who took away collective bargaining for wages and benefits, then California, another island of conservative principles, sees two cities make changes to public union pensions for new hires, and now no less than the Supreme Court issues its own smackdown. I'm beginning to think there is hope for our union after all . . . . . .
