Janus v. American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees
United States Supreme Court
138 S. Ct. 2448 (2018)
Relevant factsFree
Illinois law required public employees who were not union members to nevertheless pay dues to the exclusive bargaining union. Janus (plaintiff), a nonmember public employee, sued, arguing the compelled payment forced him to fund the union's collective-bargaining speech even where he disagreed with its positions, violating his First Amendment rights.
IssueFree
Whether compelled speech is subject to strict scrutiny.
