YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Democratic Policy and Communications Committee holds a hearing entitled, “After Janus v. AFSCME: Why Teachers and Workers are Fighting Back Against the Secret Money Campaign to Take Away Their Rights.” As President Trump pushes to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy on the U.S. Supreme Court with a corporate-backed, anti-union appointee, senators hear from witnesses – including American Federation of Teachers head Randi Weingarten – about how wealthy and powerful individuals are spending big money to take away the rights of working Americans to negotiate for better wages and working conditions. The hearing also highlights the vast public support and growing energy for unions across the country in spite of the Trump administration and conservative ideologues’ all-out assault on workers’ rights.
WITNESSES:
Randi Weingarten, President, American Federation of Teachers
Nancy MacLean, William H. Chafe Professor of History and Public Policy, Duke University and author of Democracy in Chains
Christine Marsh, High School Teacher, Arizona
Melody Benjamin, Home Health Care Worker, Illinois
