After the Supreme Court Said Unions Can’t Force Non-Members to Pay Dues, Almost All of Them Stopped Paying

American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, effectively freed public workers from having to make “fair share” payments—usually totaling about 70 to 80 percent of full union dues—in lieu of joining a union as a full-fledged member.
