The IAFF considers Sandra Day O’Connor, the first woman appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court, no friend of organized labor. While Sandra D. O’Conner served in the Arizona state Senate from 1969 to 1974, she backed a farm labor law that prohibited secondary boycotts and provided for a 10-day injunction in the case of strikes around the harvest time. That law effectively destroyed the United Farm Workers’ organizing campaign in Arizona. O’Conner also supported legislation that would have prevented unions in Arizona from contributing to political campaigns.
