ST. PAUL,Cheap MLB Jerseys China, Minn. (AP) — Bolstered by a U.S. Supreme Court ruling Monday that limits organized labor's power to collect compulsory dues, the lead plaintiff in a parallel Minnesota lawsuit urged Gov. Mark Dayton to have state lawyers stand down and ultimately cancel a pair of drives to unionize home-based day care and health care workers.
"The two cases are nearly identical,Jerseys Wholesale, which gives us hope that the ruling today sets the legal precedent needed to permanently enjoin this unconstitutional scheme once and for all," Parrish said at a news conference. She was flanked by Republican legislators who resisted the law's passage in the Democratic-controlled Legislature.
Rochester day care operator Jennifer Parrish suggested the Democratic governor had little chance to prevail after the nation's top court decided that thousands of home health care workers in Illinois who are "partial-public employees" cannot be required to pay fees that help cover a union's costs of collective bargaining. Although the workers receive state subsidies to care for clients,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, they aren't considered full-fledged state employees and therefore don't have to pay dues if they don't join a union, the conservative-led court ruled in a 5-4 decision.
In a prepared statement,Cheap NFL Jerseys, Dayton blasted Monday's ruling and offered no sign of retreat.
"By a 5-4 vote the court has voted to roll back the cause of civil rights in America,Cheap NFL Jerseys China," he said. "For decades the right to organize has been an accepted mainstream principle in American society. If people can't vote for themselves to decide if they want to join a union or not, that's just not democracy."
