In this Dec. 4, 2015 photo, Bob Stevens vacuums under the tables in the computer room at Corral Drive Elementary in Rapid City, S.D. Stevens is among support-services workers seeking higher pay from the Rapid City Area Schools. Wage negotiations between Rapid City School District officials and support-services employees have disintegrated. The local Teamsters union recently announced that due to a lack of supportive membership, it would no longer represent the employees at the negotiating table. They include custodians, maintenance staff, bus drivers, warehouse workers, grounds workers, security personnel, mechanics, laundry staff and print shop workers.

FILE - In this June 30, 2014 file photo, demonstrators stand on the steps outside the Supreme Court in Washington, where the court was poised to deliver its verdict in a case that weighs the religious rights of employers and the right of women to the birth control of their choice. The Supreme Court is wading into its fourth dispute over President Barack Obama’s 5-year-old health care overhaul. The newest “Obamacare” case involves objections by faith-based hospitals, colleges and charities to the process the administration devised to spare them from paying for contraceptives for women covered under their health plans, and yet ensure that those women can obtain birth control at no extra cost.
