CUB Statement on SCOTUS Decision in Janus v. AFSCME
Statement from City Union of Baltimore President Antoinette Ryan-Johnson on the SCOTUS Decision in Janus v. AFSCME Council 31

AFSCME Council 31. But, as always, we will stand firm against the headwinds of decades long, anti-union sentiment, because our members know: In unity there is strength.
