The AFL-CIO is opposing Supreme Court Justice nominee Judge Neil Gorsuch.
In a letter expressing its official opposition the labor federation told U.S. Senators that wages have been stagnant for decades because of the imbalance of power between working people and corporations. And the labor federation believes that Gorsuch would be "a corporatist justice – perhaps the most corporatist justice since Justice Powell."
The AFL-CIO says adding another justice to the Supreme Court who will "further skew the Court against working people and in favor of corporations would severely and adversely affect the lives and wellbeing of America’s working families."
The AFL-CIO wants a nominee with a record demonstrating greater respect for the rights of working families.
