Cohen: How "Citizens United" Decision Harms Our Democracy

January 29, 2010

 

CWA President Larry Cohen made a strong case that the Supreme Court's decision last week allowing corporations and unions to use unlimited treasury funds to make "independent expenditures was just wrong.

"A corporation isn't a person. But the U.S. Supreme Court, in its Citizens United decision, had no problem granting corporations the First Amendment rights that citizens enjoy. This decision will allow corporations to dominate the political process, just like they are able to dominate the workplace, undermining laws that are supposed to protect worker bargaining and organizing rights."  

Read the op-ed by Cohen and UAW President Ron Gettelfinger. Or look for it Feb. 2 in The Hill newspaper, www.thehill.com.
