Agencies Shop Debate Shapes Labor Law After Court Review
The Supreme Court heard cases on union shop and agency shop rules amid ongoing tests of the right to stay out of unions. The agency shop requires fees to the union without membership, a practice deemed illegal in some circuits and under state right to work laws. Justice Stewart likened it to charging for watching a movie without entering. Archibald Cox framed the agency shop as a workaround to right to work statutes. Management views it as a gimmick to undermine such laws.
