CONCLUSION
More than twenty-five years ago, in Abood v. Detroit Board of Education, the
Supreme Court ruled that non-union teachers may be compelled to support union
activities for collective-bargaining purposes. Now, in Harris v. Quinn, the Supreme
Court will consider whether its holding in Abood extends to in-home caregivers
operating under Illinois’s Medicaid-waiver programs. Quinn argues that Illinois’s
system of mandatory support is consistent with the Court’s holding in Abood and
that it serves the compelling state interests of promoting labor peace and
preventing free-riding. Harris counters that Abood should be overruled or limited
to its facts and that Illinois’s system violates freedom of speech and freedom of
association. In granting certiorari, the Court may be
signaling that it intends to revisit its holding
in Abood, a decision that could have significant
implications for both the sustainability of labor
unions and employees’ First Amendment rights.
44. Challenges whether public service workers
have the right to unionize.
Challenges whether all bargaining unit
members should pay their fair share in the
cost of collective bargaining and
representation.
National Right to Work Foundation argued to
to overturn Abood for every public service
employee bargaining unit not just home care
and child care workers.
Harris V Quinn
45. 1. The court could uphold collective bargaining but
overturn fair share arrangements. Home care and
child care unions would then be subject to "right to
work" rules
2. The court could overturn collective bargaining for
home care workers in Illinois, which could
potentially affect home care and child care
providers in other states.
3. The court could go further and overturn fee payer
status for all public workers
