    CUNY profs appeal to SCOTUS to leave anti-Semitic public sector union

    July 31, 2024 // The National Right to Work Foundation (NRTW) and the Fairness Center, which are representing the professors, recently appealed to the Supreme Court to hear the case. The groups argue that compulsory union representation violates citizens’ right to freedom of association. The professors each resigned their membership from the union, CUNY’s Professional Staff Congress (PSC-CUNY), following that group’s issuance of a pro-Hamas, anti-Israel resolution in 2021.
