Janus v. AFSCME What's at Stake?

​What is this case really about? The case aims to erode the same unions that have improved our lives and the communities we serve. The corporate special interests behind this case do not believe that working people should have the right to negotiate a fair return on our work.

Date TBD - Day of Supreme Court Decision
5:00 p.m.
1934 Truckers Strike Memorial
701 N 3rd St, Minneapolis MN 55401
The Supreme Court is on the verge of a devastating attack on the rights of unions & workers that will have huge negative ramifications. They will announce their ruling in the 'Janus v. AFSCME Council 31' case in the next couple weeks and everyone expects them to rule against unions.

The day the ruling is announced, join AFSCME 3800 and other unions at the 1934 Teamsters strike memorial at 701 N 3rd Street in Minneapolis to speak out. As they try to force workers back to a past where unions are basically criminalized, we will build on our past of fighting to win workplace dignity in the spirit of the Teamsters strike in 1934. Email afscme3800@gmail.com if you would like to join us.
