\nThis morning, the U.S. Supreme Court took action in another<\/a> case brought by Foundation staff attorneys. Instead of issuing an order granting or denying cert<\/i><\/a> in the case, the High Court invited the U.S. Solicitor General to file a brief in the case Harris v. Quinn<\/i><\/a>. That request shows that the Justices are interested in the case.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe case stems from a legal challenge initiated by eight Illinois homecare providers with the help of National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys against executive orders issued by Illinois Governor Pat Quinn and his disgraced (and now incarcerated) predecessor, Rod Blagojevich.\n<\/p>\n

\nQuinn and Blagojevich issued executive orders aimed at forcing unwilling homecare providers into a union. Under the Governors’ decrees, personal care providers are considered "public employees" for the purposes of union organizing, a move that has since forced thousands of unwilling care providers into the SEIU’s forced dues-paying ranks.\n<\/p>\n
