Harris V Quinn Cornell University School of Law - Legal Information Institute

CONCLUSIONMore than twenty-five years ago, in Abood v. Detroit Board of Education, the Supreme Court ruled that non-union teachers may be compelled to support union activities for collective-bargaining purposes. Now, in Harris v. Quinn, the Supreme Court will consider whether its holding in Abood extends to in-home caregivers operating under Illinois’s Medicaid-waiver programs. Quinn argues that Illinois’s system of mandatory support is consistent with the Court’s holding in Abood and that it serves the compelling state interests of promoting labor peace and preventing free-riding. Harris counters that Abood should be overruled or limited to its facts and that Illinois’s system violates freedom of speech and freedom of

association. In granting certiorari, the Court may be signaling that it intends to revisit its holding in Abood, a decision that could have significant implications for both the sustainability of labor unions and employees’ First Amendment rights.

Challenges whether public service workers have the right to unionize.

Challenges whether all bargaining unit members should pay their fair share in the cost of collective bargaining and representation.

National Right to Work Foundation argued to to overturn Abood for every public service employee bargaining unit not just home care and child care workers.

Harris V Quinn

1. The court could uphold collective bargaining but overturn fair share arrangements. Home care and child care unions would then be subject to "right to work" rules

2. The court could overturn collective bargaining for home care workers in Illinois, which could potentially affect home care and child care providers in other states.

3. The court could go further and overturn fee payer status for all public workers
