Public Workers Are Opting Out of Unions | Seattle News

Eight years after the Janus ruling, millions of public workers are reclaiming their dues money—saving tens of millions annually by opting out of unions. Organizations like the Washington Policy Center and the Freedom Foundation are helping workers understand their right to choose, with the Freedom Foundation alone assisting over 275,000 people nationwide and unions losing nearly $800 million in dues. Despite union pushback—including restricted opt-out windows—workers continue leaving, often due to political disagreements over how dues are spent, putting cash back into their own pockets for everyday needs.
