a one-sided power structure that can then take advantage of labor, who is powerless to fight back. This has been proven time after time. They are not going to treat workers fairly if they don't have to. History and common sense should tell you this. Scalia, Thomas, Alito, and Roberts are all in the tank for Big Business. We have the most pro-business SCOTUS of all time.

It's so Important to elect only democratic Presidents & Legislators.
In the next 10 yrs there will probably be 3 Justices replaced on the SCOTUS.

It may be the only reason to vote Dem in spite of TPTB selecting Clinton. Think she will select the right judges? I'm not sure she would.

This week, the U.S. Supreme Court heard a case that could have a profound impact on public-sector unions. The case, Harris v. Quinn, involves home health care workers in Illinois. And if the court sides with the antiunion plaintiff, public-sector unions would no longer be allowed to require employees to pay dues as a condition of employment.
