The Janus v. AFSCME decision is widely expected to have the single biggest impact on the labor movement of any decision made in decades. How will you navigate the aftermath?

In June, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Janus v. AFSCME that mandatory agency fees (or “fair share fees”) – a significant source of revenue for public-sector unions – are unconstitutional. The court’s decision will likely disrupt the basic business model for public sector unions and could create a minefield for Washington’s local governments and state agencies to navigate.

Review the court’s decision and see the real-world impacts on employee rights and the enforceability of union contracts containing security (agency fee) clauses. Learn how the Janus case affects recently-adopted Washington state law regarding union dues collection.

• Explore strategies for addressing Janus-related matters with your workforce and unions
• Preview issues that may be raised in follow-on litigation
• Hear pointers on how to keep your agency out of follow-on litigation
