Public sector unions may have the ear of the White House under President Biden, but they’re also shedding members in the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s Janus decision.
found that the four largest public sector trade unions lost an average of 10% of their membership in the five years since the 2018 ruling in Janus v. AFSCME, which ended the requirement for non-union government workers to pay union dues or fees as a condition of employment.
The foundation traced union membership and dues since the Supreme Court’s decision in AFSCME v. Janus, which struck down laws in 22 states that obligated government workers to pay fees to labor unions and required unions to seek affirmative consent for membership. Membership dues “declined 20 percent from $186 million in Dec. 2017 to an inflation-adjusted $148 million in Dec. 2022,” said the report by Maxford Nelsen, the foundation’s director of labor policy.
Both teachers’ unions also experienced drops in dues. The NEA’s annual dues collected from local affiliates fell by $310 million, or 16%, while the AFT declined by 9% to $180 million.
