A Common-Sense Defense of Janus: Forthcoming Changes in the Public Sector

This paper explores public sector unions, unionized employee benefits, and public sector union member salaries in light of the Supreme Court's decision in Janus v. American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees. Three case studies are offered to support the argument that public sector unions exert too much influence over elected officials and taxpayers. A proposed solution is banning public sector unions.
