History is Made: Senate Confirms Ketanji Brown Jackson To Supreme Court
April 8, 2022 - Our union is thrilled with the confirmation of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. We can’t overstate what it means to know this extraordinary jurist who understands personally the plight of labor and everyday people will be on our nation’s highest court.
As AFA International President Sara Nelson wrote for the New York Times, “America needs more judges who understand and support the rights of workers. For too long, the courts have sided with corporations over labor, fundamentally and perniciously reshaping American law, life and liberty.”
AFA first noticed Judge Jackson in 2018 when she ruled in favor of federal workers, issuing an injunction to halt three executive orders that gutted collective bargaining rights, due process, and union rights.
Congratulations, Judge Jackson!
