To nobody’s surprise the U.S. Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, sided with big money interests and against the needs of working people. Make no mistake about it: this decision is a direct assault on working families all over America.
What the Kochs and other billionaires understand is that if they can destroy the trade union movement in America, it will be even more difficult for workers to earn decent wages and benefits, and the political power of working people will be diminished.
While today’s ruling is a major setback for working families, we must redouble our efforts to make it easier, not harder, to join a union. We cannot rebuild the disappearing middle class without revitalizing the trade union movement.
