Descrição: In late March 2016, the labor movement breathed a collective sigh of relief. The US Supreme Court had allowed the 1977 Abood ruling on the right of unions to collect "fee-payer" dues, which had been challenged in the much-discussed Friedrichs v. California Teachers Association case, to stand. The term at the heart of both cases refers to fees paid by members of collective bargaining units who have not signed up to be members of the union. In some states, these members are referred to not as fee payers but as fair-share payers, a term that more accurately reflects what they are -- individuals who are not members of the union but pay a share of union-member dues because they enjoy the same protections and benefits of the collective bargaining agreement as those who have signed a union card. The respite for unions was not a result of a decision by a full Court to reject the arguments of the plaintiff, however.
