      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:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v05TrYnVBY8&feature=youtu.be …

      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.

          No, #SCOTUS's #Janus decision undermines unions' ability to force non-union members to pay dues to something they're not a part of. If enough people don't want to support a certain cause, the cause doesn't deserve to be pushed, especially with coerced money.

          You're wrong. The employees are not "non-union" they are "non-paying". The union is still required by law to represent the best interests of the membership (salary, benefits, time off...etc). They are getting a free ride.

          No it gives you an option of supporting a union you are not a part of instead of forcing you to pay for not even joining

          If you’re forced to pay union dues to an organization that campaigns against everything you believe, you must fight this injustice.

          Then you shouldn’t continue to reap the benefits. QUIT & allow someone else who appreciates collective bargaining for FAIR & EQUAL WAGE , WORKERS RIGHTS, JOB SECURITY & BENEFITS that would be happy to pay DUES for the SECURITY.. Theres plenty of jobs that AREN’T Union find one

          Read The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. Not everything unions do is honorable. Some isn’t even legal. #jimmyhoffa

          Before the GOP started their attack of the Unions. Unions set the wage scale for ALL Trades.. GOP favor Corporate profits rather than fair and just wage.. You can’t raise a family on $10 per hour but that’s what the Companies who benefited from the TAXSCAM pay their employees

          Senator Murray, what I going on? The new SCOTUS pick seems to be made through corruption. Trump is meeting in private with Putin. And these are just two examples of other horrendous things he’s doing/done. What is happening to our democracy? We are frightened!
