Workers’ rights and legal protections are at great risk! This is the time to let your Senators know that Judge Alito is NOT the kind of Justice workers, retirees, or their family members need or want making decisions on the highest court in the nation. Among Judge Alito's many anti-worker decisions, he:

overturned various National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) rulings to the detriment of workers’ union organizing efforts;

voted to excuse businesses from giving notices to workers that they are closing down, and to gut protections for workers under the WARN Act;

voted against Family and Medical Leave Act coverage for state employees;
ruled against collective bargaining agreement provisions that make it easier for union stewards to help coworkers with their grievances;
set aside an arbitration award reinstating a fired worker.

Judge Alito’s judicial decisions show that he consistently votes against the interests of workers—and in favor of corporate and business interests. Judge Alito will NOT vote to uphold your rights.

What’s at stake? The nine-member Supreme Court interprets the Constitution and laws—and plays a powerful role in determining workers’ rights and legal protections. The current narrow Court majority has already harmed workers’ rights in a number of ways—but the situation would be much worse if Justice Alito was added. Such a majority would seriously weaken the right of employees to bargain collectively and be treated fairly. Such a majority would also make it easier for employers to refuse to bargain with elected union representatives and to suspend or fire workers who try to organize other employees.

Write your Senators today! Tell them to oppose Alito’s nomination!
