Washington, D.C. -Today, Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, the Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform-the Committee with jurisdiction over federal employees-issued the following statement in response to the Supreme Court’s decision in the case of Janus v. American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees:
“This is what happens when Republicans steal a Supreme Court seat. Today’s decision in the Janus case, by a conservative majority of the Supreme Court, overturns its own decision 41 years ago for thinly veiled political reasons. This decision is the result of a decades-long campaign by conservatives against organized labor, and it will do nothing but harm workers in the middle class and those aspiring to it."
