Lots to pick through, but the one that didn't actually bother me was the ruling striking down laws which force non-union members to pay union fees.
I've always thought such laws were shitty and unfair. If you're not part of an organization, or don't want to be a part of that organization, why should you be forced to pay money out of your own pocket to support them?
If employees wanted to be part of unions (in Right to Work states), then they'd join them. The situation in non-Right-to-Work states (like Illinois), where employees are often forced to join a union as a condition of employment, has always seemed patently unfair to me.
I think unions are important and I always applaud when they are successful in protecting work rights, but I also question the motives of any organization whose membership is compulsory and who take your money whether you like it or not. That seems more like the mob to me.
