SCOTUS To Hear Case Of Parents Caring For Their Disabled Children At Home Being Ordered To Pay Fees To Unions
Stealing from parents who already have so much to face to care for their disabled children is just evil. The Supreme Court has now agreed to hear arguments in this case. But it should never have had to get this far to get justice for these parents.
Via Illinois Review:
CHICAGO – In 2009, Illinois’ Governor Quinn ordered parents who care for their disabled children in their own homes to pay collective bargaining fees to public sector unions. The parents rejected union representation and filed a lawsuit against Governor Quinn, putting his executive order on hold.
After four years, the dispute has finally reached the U.S. Supreme Court. Last week, the Court agreed to hear arguments in the case of Harris v. Quinn, in which the mother of a disabled adult son is suing the governor of Illinois.
“Unions are pocketing precious funding intended to help support our sons and daughters,” Mrs. Harris said in a statement to Illinois Review, “Our case intends to stop this scheme.”
