AFL-CIO: Supreme Court Ruling Is an Outright Attack on the Fundamental Rights of Working People
Voting rights are workers' rights. When working people have a real voice at the ballot box, we can elect leaders who will protect our right to join a union, fight for fair wages, ensure safe workplaces, live free from discrimination and harassment, and retire in dignity. When politicians—backed by the Supreme Court—are able to undermine our voices, they can dismantle everything we’ve worked for and further consolidate power for the corporations, billionaires, and special interests at our expense. This ruling gives anti-worker and anti-democratic actors new tools to do so.
