Michael Arria at Truthout reports the U.S. Supreme Court ended its 2023-2024 term with a flurry of massive decisions (including Starbucks v. McKinney, with the National Labor Relations Board and its Chevron reversal, to name a few) that stand to damage the agencies designed to protect Workers.  The Right-Wing rulings are understandably causing anxiety among Progressives, including Labor Activists.  “While the court is decidedly pro-corporate, most Americans probably don’t know just how Anti-Worker and Anti-Union it really is,” wrote Century Foundation Senior Fellow Steven Greenhouse in The Guardian.  “The Justices have often shown a stunning callousness toward Workers and that means a callousness toward average Americans.”  Arria writes it’s not surprising a Conservative Supreme Court partially selected by the Trump Administration has issued a series of decisions that serve the interests of Big Business.  However, the war on Workers will inevitably be expanded if Donald Trump returns to the White House and we see these Federal Agencies further targeted by the right.  According to a paper published in 2022, this is the most pro-corporate Supreme Court that we’ve seen in a century.  Businesses have prevailed over 63% of the time when their cases are heard under Chief Justice John Roberts.  Regardless of who wins in November, the Court has already ensured Workers will have their work cut out for them in the coming years.
