Isaac Wolf v. University Professional and Technical Employees, Communications Workers of America Local 9119, et al.
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 20-17333 · judgment September 16, 2021
Certiorari denied · December 6, 2021
Pre-decision estimate: 6% cert probability (95% interval 4%–9%)
Before the decision, modestly above the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a petition filed soon after the judgment below, a Ninth Circuit decision below, and counsel who has filed here before, and down for a business respondent.
Question presented
- Whether a union can trap a public worker into paying dues without the “affirmative consent” required by Janus v. AFSCME, Council 31, 138 S. Ct. 2448 (2018).
