Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 November 2019

It then explores mechanisms that would allow unions to develop relationships with the workers they represent, which is the key to sustainable funding and union-worker accountability. As the Supreme Court will certainly have many more opportunities to decide cases that would outlaw various forms of union-worker advocacy, including the settled principle of workplace democracy based on majority rule, the future of union security can be assured only by continuous organizing.
