NEW YORK — Supporters of organized labour rallied Saturday in New York City ahead of arguments in a Supreme Court case that could make it hard for unions to operate. The Supreme Court on Monday will hear a challenge to an Illinois law that allows government employee unions such as AFSCME to collect fees from workers who choose not to join. Justice Neil Gorsuch joined the court in April and has yet to weigh in on union fees. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and Gov. Andrew Cuomo, both Democrats, vowed to protect unions regardless of how the Supreme Court rules.
