Speech #1090103771

Millions of state employees were deprived of their ability to seek relief in court under the Fair Labor Standards Act. the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. and the Americans with Disabilities Act because of decisions decided by a onevote margin. The Court issued a decision restricting States in their ability to adopt their own workplace safety laws. again by a onevote margin. By a onevote margin. the Supreme Court excused employers from having to pay backpay when they are found to have discriminated against union supporters who happen to be undocumented workers. The importance of this nomination to the rights and protections of working families is clear. There is an excellent letter I received from AFSME.
