2:13 as long as my union works for ME, I will continue to be a member.

It's a great day for freedom, the right of free association and free speech. American workers win big.

[jehovahize]

Praise God!!!! Unions started out as a good thing but like any other entity absolute power corrupts.

[dogarageoxo]

Massive loss for Democrats who fund their campaigns on graft from the unions.

[dr.everythingb.alright]

What a great day! I can't stand the entitlement mentality of unions. Good for Mark!

[twsjct]

Of course it should be for workers to decide what they want for themselves. But, that should include employment contract also. Union bargaining agreement should be applicable to Union members only.

[nateellington]

If the unions are offering a good deal, then people will continue to be a part of them and will voluntaraly fund their activites through union dues. This amounts to the unions having to compete for workers memberships which is not entirely a bad thing. Forced payments simply to hold a job really speaks for itself.

[adamrauchbauer]

That lawyer has about the most punchable face I've ever seen.

[abcable]

A great forward step against corrupt leftist tactics!

[TheWholeWorld]

I don’t disagree with Janus stance... however would he consider giving back the $17k worth of raises his specific union negotiated on his behalf? 🤔

[classicliberal]

Democrats will cry a river but they have the intelligence of using their own sweat to clean the windows in their house

[coffeedollsvp]

Thanks to this guy...im earning a 120 dollars more than my coworkers

[MoMas]

Right to choose! Sounds like abortion rights.

[jcamacho]

It's sad that many have forgotten why unions were born. Sure, it's not perfect but I can remember when salaries shot up because of unions. Take, as an example, the salary of a Corrections Officer in the State of California!

[youdagoob]

I'm going to "represent" you... whether you want it or not... so PAY UP!

[elenagomez]

Awesome. I never consented to the unions taking my money out of my paycheck, yet they always had access to it and did. I wish they could pay me back what they stole.

[joeskis]

I pay about $700/yr for my public sector union. How do I stop doing that now?

[thejrodshow]

His lawyer looks like a sophisticated Ivan Drago.

[alexbates]

This guy's stance is so popular he found 5 people to hold signs behind him. There are some misleading things Mr. Janus is implying the worst being that we pay union dues to get our job. I am a very moderate conservative who belongs to the same union as Mark here. Mark fails to tell you that his union has bargained him to a $71, 000 salary and great benefits. I do not view my dues as a political statement, but rather an insurance or reassurance that someone is looking out for me and my family's best interest as it pertains to my employer.
