Surprising good news for labor at the Supreme Court today.

The high court split four-to-four in a case that challenged a rule that required public school teachers to pay union dues even when they are not union members.

The case was brought by a group of California teachers and it was expected, when argued back in January before Justice Antonin Scalia died, that the union could lose this fight.
