Pennsylvania musician asks U.S. Supreme Court to decide if he has to pay union dues

A Pennsylvania musician’s claim that he can’t be forced to pay union dues could expand the right recently granted by the U.S. Supreme Court for public employees to opt out of supporting labor unions. Lawyers representing Lehigh Valley percussionist Glen Wilkofsky have asked the Supreme Court to consider whether the Allentown Symphony Association wrongly threatened to fire Wilkofsky when he stopped paying dues to the American Federation of Musicians.
