Members of Congress Reject Janus Ruling and Stand with Working People

July 5, 2018

After the Supreme Court ruled against working people in the Janus v. AFSCME, Council 31, case last week, dozens of members of Congress condemned the ruling and expressed their support for the rights of working people. Here are excerpts from their statements.

Rep. Brendan Boyle (Pa.-13th District):

Janus v. AFSCME is a wolf in sheep's clothing: a case brought by billionaires in the name of "fairness" to employees who benefit from collective bargaining but don't want to pay their fair share. Its purpose is and has always been to divide workers and undermine the ability of unions to advocate for them at a time when they need it most.
