Daniel DiSalvo\\xa0joins\\xa0City Journal\\xa0editor\\xa0Brian Anderson\\xa0to discuss the impact of last year\\u2019s Supreme Court decision in\\xa0Janus\\xa0v.\\xa0ASFCME, in which the Court ruled that public-sector unions\\u2019 mandatory \\u201cagency fees\\u201d were unconstitutional under the First Amendment.

Unions provide an important source of financial support for politicians\\u2014primarily Democrats\\u2014around the country. In a new report for the Manhattan Institute, DiSalvo finds that blue states are taking steps to shield their public unions from the full consequences of the\\xa0Janus\\xa0ruling.
