After Janus

In Janus v. American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, Council 31, the U.S. Supreme Court ended the practice of enabling public-sector unions to collect “fair-share” or “agency” fees from employees who decline to join. [...]we consider Indiana a right-to-work state in our analysis because, although it did not officially adopt a right-to-work law until 2012, it has prohibited mandatory union membership and fee collection for teachers since 1995. What are you doing for us?” And so our response to that is, “What would it be without us? Because we’re fighting. In states like those that adopted right-to-work laws in the past decade, which have been hit hard by the recession and adopted reforms like limiting tenure and making performance evaluations more robust, teachers have also experienced flat state budgets or cuts to education spending after decades of expansion, as well as reduced investments in services for children.
