AFL-CIO says: Tell your senators to REJECT KAVANAUGH

From my email:

Working people expect the Supreme Court to be the most fair and independent branch of government in America, yet recent decisions have protected the privileged and powerful at the expense of working people.

Decisions by the Court, often by the narrowest of margins, have a dramatic impact on our lives as we recently saw in Janus v. AFSCME Council 31 and reinforce the importance of choosing who sits on the Court. We simply cannot have another Justice on the Court who sides with corporations over America’s working families.

Call 844-899-9913 today and tell your Senator to OPPOSE Kavanaugh.

Judge Brett Kavanaugh has a dangerous track record of protecting the privileges of the wealthy and powerful at the expense of working people. The AFL-CIO thoroughly reviewed the record of Judge Kavanaugh on cases of importance to working families and we oppose his nomination.

Judge Kavanaugh routinely rules against working families, regularly rejects employees’ right to receive employer-provided health care, too often sides with employers in denying employees relief from discrimination in the workplace and promotes overturning well-established U.S. Supreme Court precedent.

Call 844-899-9913 today and tell your Senator to OPPOSE Kavanaugh.
Any Supreme Court nominee must be fair, independent and committed to protecting the rights, freedoms and legal safeguards that protect every one of us. Judge Kavanaugh does not meet this standard.The Senate should reject this nomination and demand a nominee who will protect the rights of working people and uphold our constitutional values of liberty, equality and justice for all.

Our fight for better wages and benefits and a voice on the job won’t be slowed by any court or politician. The rich and powerful won’t dictate the American story. We will pave our own path, populate the halls of power with allies of working people and secure a brighter economic future.

Please used the attached flyer to get the words out to your members, friends and family.
