AFT Healthcare-Maryland Statement on SCOTUS Decision in Janus v. AFSCME

Statement from AFT Healthcare-Maryland President Debra Perry on the SCOTUS Decision in Janus v. AFSCME Council 31

Today the Supreme Court's decision in the Janus v. AFSCME Council 31 case undermined the voice of public employees in the workplace by disregarding 40 years of legal precedent in the Abood Decision, and giving in to millionaires and billionaires who seek to quiet the voice of public workers. By doing this, they deny public sector employees here in the state of Maryland an opportunity for fair wages, decent benefits, and pensions that allow workers to live respectably. However, despite The Court's erroneous decision today, AFT Healthcare-Maryland and the labor movement across the state is growing, and will continue to fight for working people, their families, and the communities we so proudly serve.
