Booker Statement on Supreme Court's Blow to Labor Rights in Janus vs AFSCME Ruling

Statement

Date: June 27, 2018
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Employment and Affirmative Action Labor Unions

U.S. Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), today issued the following statement:

"Today's Supreme Court ruling is an outright attack on the rights of working men and women everywhere. By ruling in favor of so-called "right to work' laws --which have their origins in the Jim Crow era--this decision marks yet another distressing victory for the corporate interests and billionaires that have sought to dilute worker power for decades. I will continue to fight against the relentless efforts to undermine workers' rights and do everything in my power to make it easier--not harder--for working people to join unions."
