Pingree Statement on SCOTUS's Latest Assault on Workers' Rights
Washington, DC,
June 27, 2018
"Unions have been under attack by powerful interests for decades because they are one of the most effective ways for workers to gain leverage in an economy rigged for corporate interests and the wealthy. It’s appalling to see the Supreme Court join in. Today’s decision is not only a blow to public sector unions, but everyone they represent—members or not. In undermining collective bargaining as a whole, it also weakens a tool that is sorely needed by all Americans who are working hard but struggling to get ahead. |
