William Messenger of the National Right to Work Committee asked the Supreme Court today to hold that public employee unions are unconstitutional. “This is—Im just going to use the word here, it is a radical argument. It would radically restructure the way workplaces across this country are—are run,” Justice Elena Kagan said from the bench. Since 1948, she pointed out, states have had the power to enact “right-to-work” laws that limit union power. Was Messenger arguing that “a right-to-work law is constitutionally compelled?” Messenger didn’t back off. “In the public sector, yes,” he replied.
