Albany, NY – In response to the Supreme Court ruling in the Janus vs. AFSCME case, Karen Scharff, Executive Director of Citizen Action of New York, has issued the following statement:
“Today’s ruling in the Janus vs. AFSCME case is an attack on the livelihood and dignity of working families. Make no mistake, this decision will hurt our communities. The billionaires behind this ruling recognize that unions play a critical role in reining in greed and inequality. But as recent labor strikes and walk-outs have made clear: when working people stand together, there is nothing we can’t overcome.”
