President Donald Trump is hailing a Supreme Court ruling on union fees, asserting that it amounts to a "big loss for the coffers of the Democrats!"
Trump tweeted shortly after the Supreme Court ruled that government workers can't be compelled to contribute to labor unions that represent them in collective bargaining. The ruling is considered a significant financial blow to organized labor.
While Trump received the support of some union workers in his 2016 campaign, labor unions have largely sided with Democrats.
The 5-4 decision Wednesday fulfills a longtime wish of conservatives to get rid of the so-called fair share fees that non-members pay to unions in roughly two dozen states.
