The United States filed an amicus brief last night in Janus v. AFSCME asking the Supreme Court to overrule Abood and to hold that public sector agency fee agreements are unconstitutional.  This represents a change in the federal government’s position since Friedrichs, in which the U.S. filed an amicus brief in support of public sector agency fee arrangements.
