LERA Discussion on RTW: 11/19 in Southfield

THE DETROIT AREA CHAPTER OF THE LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT RELATIONS ASSOCIATION

PROUDLY PRESENTS:

WILL THE SUPREME COURT IMPOSE

PUBLIC SECTOR RIGHT TO WORK COAST TO COAST?

*

This term, the United States Supreme Court will consider reversing the decades old decision in Abood v. Detroit Public Schools

which found that “fair share” fees are constitutional. The case, Friedrichs v. California Teachers Association,

has the potential to instantly invalidate every fair share fee arrangement in the United States.

This issue is of critical importance to both supporters and opponents of fair share fee arrangements. It has relevance

in the State of Michigan despite the adoption of “Right to Work” legislation in 2012 since there are many agency fee contracts still in effect.
