DESCRIPTION:Organized by the Monterey Bay Central Labor Council\n\nToday's Supreme 
 Court decision in the Janus v. AFSCME case is another attack against unions 
 and moves us toward Right to Work for the whole country.\n\nOverturning 
 more than four decades of precedent, the decision unfairly forces unions to 
 provide services free to those who won’t pay for them. This costly burden 
 on unions and their members is a key part of a broad attack on working 
 people and the 99% and makes it easier for anti-worker extremists to divide 
 working people and further rig the economy.\n\nThe Janus decision is an 
 attack on those public employees who are teaching our kids, keeping our 
 streets safe, protecting us from fires, and rushing to our aid when we have 
 an accident. It's an attack on the entire public sector. It is part of the 
 campaign to divide the US into a country of the rich and the 
 poor.\n\nUltimately the Janus decision is an attack on democracy. Unions 
 are our strongest and most organized barrier to tyranny by a wealthy 
 oligarchy. Without the right to organize, there can be no effective 
 protection of the right to vote, the right to equal treatment under the 
 law, or the right to a stable and secure climate.\n\nFor much of U.S. 
 history the courts treated unions as illegal. But workers organized unions 
 anyway. By action in their workplaces, the streets, the courts, and the 
 political system they established the right to organize, bargain 
 collectively, strike, and represent workers in the political process. The 
 response to Janus by workers, organized labor, and all who support 
 democracy and human rights will be to fight for the rights of workers in 
 our workplaces, streets, courts, and political arenas.\n\nNo court decision 
 can extinguish the desire of working people standing together in unions to 
 create better lives for our families and communities. We will not allow a 
 court decision to stand in the way of the fight for good jobs, safe 
 workplaces, equal pay for women, fair treatment of immigrants and dignity 
 at work for everyone.\n\nShow your support for unions and union workers by 
 joining a nearby rally today at 5:30pm.\n
