Union-Haters Won't Get To Dance on Our Grave

Within hours of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in the Janus v. AFSCME case, union-haters launched a shadowy misinformation campaign in an attempt to get public employees to leave their union. They started emailing nurses, firefighters, teachers, and other hardworking New Yorkers who provide important services every day, and launched a website targeting our members with their propaganda.

It came as no surprise. We have said all along, the Janus case is nothing more than a thinly-veiled attempt to silence the voice of working men and women and their unions. This case was never about a man named Mark Janus. It was, and continues to be, an attack by right-wing ideologues who know that when working people join together, they have the power to improve their wages, benefits and working conditions. And that is exactly what these corporate special interests are afraid of.
