Do nonmember public employees who have rescinded their prior consent to union dues deductions enjoy the same right to freedom from compelled speech as employees who never affirmatively consented?

QUESTIONS PRESENTED The First Amendment prohibits public sector labor unions from using state law to divert money from a public employee's lawfully earned wages unless that employee affirmatively consents. Janus v. Am. Fed’n of State, Cnty., Mun. Emps. Council 31, 138 S. Ct. 2448, 2486 (2018). The Court did not limit this principle only to those who never joined a union, but applied it to all nonmembers. Janus thus requires unions and government employers to possess clear and compelling evidence of a nonmember employee's waiver prior to taking their money for use in political speech, regardless of whether they previously agreed to union deductions and have since opted out. The questions presented are: 1. Do nonmember public employees who have rescinded their prior consent to union dues deductions enjoy the same right to freedom from compelled speech as employees who never affirmatively consented? 2.
