The namesake of a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision involving union fees says Kansas law should be changed to ensure the rights of public employees.
Mark Janus testified before a Senate panel Monday on legislation opposed by unions that represent teachers, police, firefighters, corrections officers and electrical workers.
Senate Bill 175 would allow public employees to stop paying union dues at any time, even if they signed up for a yearlong membership. The bill also would require employers to send annual notices to union members to let them know they can forgo payments at any time.
