Karass<\/i>, which the Court will consider next term. The foundation is supporting 20 Maine state employees who object to their compulsory agency fees being used to fund nationwide union litigation far removed from the workers&#8217; local bargaining concerns. Clement&#8217;s brief says it is constitutional for fees to be used in at least some kinds of pooling arrangements with other unions for litigation, though it suggests limits on the use.

But it was none too soon for rank-and-file workers under Big Labor&#8217;s thumb.
