Episode 88: Janus Comes Down—The Bad, the Really Bad and The Fight Back
Episode 88: Today, the inevitable happened. The Supreme Court ruled in Janus v. AFSCME, with the now-familiar right-wing conservative majority siding with the anti-union billionaire forces against public sector unions, and, really, the entire middle-class. I welcome back Celine McNicholas from the Economic Policy Institute to look at who is hurt by the decision. I, then, give us another listen at an in-depth conversation with American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten about how the AFT has been preparing to fight back in the wake of the decision. Our Robber Barons are the network of billionaires who funded Janus and similar cases.
