AFL-CIO Submits Amicus Brief in Support of Immigrant Working Families

Statement from AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka on the amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to lift the injunction in the U.S. v. Texas Case

This injunction is blocking several million hard working immigrants from gaining a measure of increased dignity in their lives and security on the job. At a time when immigrant workers face increasingly ugly and dangerous attacks from bigoted politicians, the labor movement rejects blatant attempts to divide us.  We will continue to stand strong with our immigrant brothers and sisters as we fight together in the Congress, the courts and the streets to demand equal rights and protections for all working people.
