The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 Wednesday that public employees who opt out of joining unions cannot be required to pay collective bargaining fees. CU Boulder labor economics expert Jeffrey Zax can provide context and analysis on the case, Janus v. AFSCME (American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees).

Jeffrey Zax, professor of economics, specializes in labor economics and has published papers on the relationships between unions, wages and regulation. He can break down what the decision means for collective bargaining in the United States and discuss broader economic implications.
