"I'm about to speak on the vital role that unions play in raising wages and creating pathways to the middle class at our hearing with labor leaders, teachers, and home care workers. Watch live:

Unions helped create the 40-hour workweek, end child labor, and strengthen the middle class. When unions have the power to bargain on behalf of employees, we're all better off. But the Supreme Court's recent #Janus decision undermines their ability to do exactly that.

As dark money groups have spent billions on campaigns designed to chip away at workers' rights, union membership and workers' bargaining power have both declined. As a result, wages for working families have stagnated, while billionaires like the Koch brothers have gotten richer.

President Trump has nominated another anti-worker, anti-union nominee to the Supreme Court. Kavanaugh has a long history of ruling in the favor of corporations & big business--at the expense of workers. I'm going to keep fighting against attempts to undermine working families."
