This case is specific to public sector unions (teachers' unions, mass transit unions, etc). I don't think it will reach to private sector unions. I doubt the scope of this specific suit could go past public sector unions, but it could create an atmosphere where a case could change closed shops in the private sector in the future. There's potential for a slippery slope.
