In the News: Is This Supreme Court Decision The End Of Teachers Unions?

NPR’s Anya Kamenetz and Cory Turner consider some possibilities in an article that draws on research by Bradley D. Marianno and Katharine O. Strunk  that was published recently in Education Next.  Marianno and Strunk analyzed what happened in Wisconsin and Michigan after unions lost the power to collect agency fees.
