Some instant analysis:
Breaking: SCOTUS limits power to compel contributions to public employee unions but does not forbid it

The decision says that union bargaining fees cannot be imposed on employees that are not full public employees

Basically, #SCOTUS refused to extend Abood precedent to the home caregivers in Harris v. Quinn. Because Abood doesn't apply, it still stands

Upshot in #SCOTUS Harris v Quinn: Plaintiffs win, but Big Labor spared blow by not losing precedent allowing closed shops in public sector.
