Interesting. So this state is going to try to stop the damage on it's own.

HOUSE SPEAKER ROBERT DeLEO will bring a bill to the floor for a vote this week that would allow unions to charge non-members fees for certain services, a response to the Supreme Court ruling last summer that choked off an important source of money for organized labor.
An affirmative vote in the House would not only be a victory for unions, but a positive step forward for the rocky relationship of late between House Democratic leaders and the state’s largest unions.
“It’s very important in terms of protecting our working men and women. The Janus decision was looked at as a blow to that, so I think we wanted to send a message here in Massachusetts in response to that decision,” DeLeo said Monday.
The bill (H 3825) was written by the Committee on Labor and Workforce Development and would allow unions to charge non-member employees for representation in arbitration cases and other disputes. It’s a response to the high court’s Janus v. AFSCME decision last summer that barred unions from charging non-members agency fees.
