Janus v. AFSCME

This week, Sam Bagenstos, a professor at the University of Michigan Law School, dives into the groundbreaking Janus v. AFSCME ruling. He discusses how this case restricts unions' ability to collect fees and its implications for worker rights and funding. The conversation critiques the intertwining of union activities with First Amendment rights and explores the political dynamics that influence labor laws. Bagenstos also highlights the electoral effects of right-to-work laws and how unions are strategizing to stay powerful amidst these challenges.
