Robert Alt, The Buckeye Institute’s president and chief executive officer, issued a statement after the Supreme Court of the United States announced it denied cert on Buckeye’s motion for preliminary injunction in Uradnik v. IFO, which called for an immediate end to laws that force public-sector employees to accept a union’s exclusive representation. The U.S. Suprmeme Court “has given us another opportunity to seek justice by sending [the case] back to the U.S. District Court where The Buckeye Institute will continue to fight relentlessly on Kathy’s behalf.”
