The Janus case before the United States Supreme Court asks whether public employees who are not union members must pay so-called agency or fair share fees to the union [“Court spars over union fees, Gorsuch silent,” News, Feb. 27].

This should be a relatively easy decision if it were not fueled by personal and political agendas that cloud the basic issues of equity and fairness.

If a majority votes to be represented by an entity, in this case a union, and there are dues required, which has also been determined by a majority of members, then all members should have to pay their share. This is true especially because all share in the benefits the union must legally provide.

To permit anything less would be akin to allowing citizens who do not vote for or support a particular candidate or political party to abstain from paying taxes to the government when that person or party is elected. The ensuing chaos would be devastating, and it’s unlikely that the organization or government would survive. Democratic institutions should be encouraged and supported, not attacked and diminished, if our democracy is to survive.
