The Supreme Court vs.The Labor Movement

The Supreme Court is an incredibly powerful institution whose rulings are meant to reflect the fundamental values of our nation. However, over the past decade the Supreme Court has stacked the deck against working people by dealing a number of major blows to the labor movement.

These dues are the lifeblood that powers the work and organizing power of all labor unions.

For the past decade, rulings have been increasingly going against the labor force and making it easier for large corporations and special interests to wield power[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator color=”custom” border_width=”10″ el_width=”10″ accent_color=”#ffcd00″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1591105956336{background-image: url(https://uawaction.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Rect.png?id=32) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column][vc_raw_html css=”.vc_custom_1594053349857{margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;border-bottom-color: #ffcd00 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ultimate_heading main_heading=”KNOW THE JUSTICES” sub_heading_color=”#000000″ el_class=”blue-text” main_heading_style=”font-style:italic;,font-weight:bold;” main_heading_margin=”margin-bottom:20px;”]

SCOTUS has shifted in a more conservative direction over the past decade, with two lifetime appointments by President Donald Trump pushing the Court even further to the right. While both Justice Neil Gorsuch and Justice Brett Kavanaugh are relatively new to the Court, they both have a demonstrated track record of ruling against working people and favoring the interests of big businesses and corporations.
