U.S. Supreme Court sets date to hear Illinois right-to-work case

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments Feb. 26 in an Illinois case that could change labor law across the country.

Janus vs. AFSCME challenges a 40-year-old precedent that has allowed state and local governments to require their employees to pay a portion of their salaries to a union whether they want to or not.

Attorneys for both sides will argue before the country’s highest court and answer questions from the justices at the hearing. A decision is expected this summer.
