Eighth Circuit issues opinions in two consolidated public-sector union cases
On July 25, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit affirmed U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson’s rulings in four lawsuits brought against public-sector unions in Minnesota. The lawsuits were consolidated into two cases. In each case, the plaintiffs sought damages for fees deducted from non-union employee pay as a condition of employment, and Nelson ruled in favor of the unions.
