U.S. top court rules against public unions over in-home care workers

Two men talk as the sun rises over the Supreme Court in Washington By Amanda Becker and Lawrence Hurley WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday dealt a setback to unions by ruling that in-home care workers in Illinois who are paid by the state are not similar enough to full-fledged government employees to be compelled to pay union dues. The court held in a 5-4 ruling written by conservative Justice Samuel Alito that plaintiff Pamela Harris and others who provide in-home care for family members and others with disabilities were not public employees who could be forced to pay union dues to a public employees union.
