A state law banning employees from being forced to pay union dues as a condition for holding a certain job went into effect in Kentucky in January 2017. Kentucky branches of the AFL-CIO and Teamsters unions sued to overturn the law in May 2017. A circuit court judge upheld the law after the initial challenge, and the State Supreme Court upheld the ruling on appeal.
“The court rejected a desperate attempt by union bosses to re-impose their power to have a worker fired for refusing to pay dues or fees to a union they oppose,” National Right to Work Foundation (NRTW) President Mark Mix said in a statement. NRTW attorneys represented defendants in the case.
