United States Supreme Court

Under Illinois' Home Services Program (Rehabilitation Program), which allows Medicaid recipients who would normally need institutional care to hire a "personal assistant" (PA) to provide homecare services, where defendant-union was designated the exclusive union representative for Rehabilitation Program employees, the First Amendment prohibits the collection of an agency fee from Rehabilitation Program PAs who do not want to join or support the union because the First Amendment does not permit a State to compel personal care providers to subsidize speech on matters of public concern by a union that they do not wish to join or support.
