Good morning, Anons. Literally me.
Have two; three if you count Q Research, but good morning to you, too.
Thanks, Anon. Nah, I meant I fell asleep w/ my laptop. Again. Caught the Q drops and related discussion but fuzzy headed this morning. So many happenings..
The new year will bring a new Supreme Court ruling that could have far-reaching implications for the labor movement — and many New York public-sector unions are already braced for a potentially devastating blow.
The case is Janus vs. the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, and the Supreme Court is expected to hear oral arguments in mid- to late-February.
AFSCME has until Jan. 12 to file briefs on the merits of its arguments in the legal battle, and labor supporters have until Jan. 19 to file their amicus briefs.
At stake is the right of public-sector unions to charge fees to workers who choose not to join labor organizations — but who still gain from the collectively bargained salaries, pensions and other benefits that unions negotiate on their behalf.

The Janus ruling has been highly anticipated, or rather, highly feared, by labor unions for a long time. I'm happy about it. Will personally save me $1,100 per year. BUT we need next to push for term limits, voting reform, and doing away with dual citizenship of our elected officials.
Reminds me of the Jackson Five; Michael in particular.
