In this most recent case, Janus v. AFSCME III, plaintiff Mark Janus is asking for the union to pay back fees it took from his paycheck before the landmark ruling in his 2018 case. He claims that the Supreme Court’s ruling should be retroactive, echoing other claims that have been made in federal court, including a sweeping class action that was filed in California last year.
“The Supreme Court agreed that the union taking money from nonmembers was wrong but the union still has the money it illegally garnished from my paycheck,” Janus said in a press release through the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, one of the organizations handling his case.
Janus is seeking the return of about $3,000 in fees taken from his paycheck between 2013 and 2018.
“Mark Janus is just one of many public employees whose money was illegally taken by government unions,” said Patrick Hughes, Liberty Justice Center president and co-founder. Liberty Justice Center is the other group working on Janus’ case.
In 2018, SCOTUS ruled in Mark Janus’ favor, declaring mandatory union fees for govt workers illegal. We’re back in court with Mark this AM, arguing why he deserves a refund of the $3K in illegal fees taken from his paycheck since 2013. https://t.co/QSEHwWMgIt

It is unclear if the Supreme Court will hear Janus’ latest appeal.

unions need to be EXTINCT. ASAP.
For lazy sons of bitches and bitches themselves, the unions are the golden eggs layers.
Not working and making out like CEOs of big companies is a very addictive scenario. One can never quit the addiction. Laziness, thievery, embezzlement, and living on the hog, who can let that go???
True most can’t even do math.
Like I always been say’n, Unions are a product of the liberal Democrats, like father like son.
Lying, cheating, stealing, killing are all part of their MO. Keep the plug in your left hand and your rifle in your right ’cause the swamp is still draining… jwstx
