NY AG Eric Schneiderman commenting to the The Albany (NY) Times Union about the multi-state filing:

“The right to organize is a fundamental right for American workers,” Schneiderman said. “Unions go hand-in-hand with a strong middle class. Organizing gives workers the power to lift themselves out of poverty and build a better future. The Supreme Court should follow settled precedent and allow states like New York to manage our own labor relations to achieve labor peace and government efficiency and to continue our long tradition of support for workers.”
