Workers’ Rights & Strong Unions
The backbone of the American middle class is the right to organize and form strong unions. For 40 years, Republicans have sought to weaken federal protections for workers, undermine the enforcement of national labor laws, and strip workers of their right to organize. In order to restore the American middle class, we must do more to support unions and empower workers in their right to organize.
In Congress, I will sponsor and support the PRO Act. Just as I have in the General Assembly, I will work arm and arm with unions to enhance protections for the right to organize, fully fund agencies looking out for workers, and ensure that as new industries and economies emerge, they are powered by a unionized workforce. I will also fight to codify President Biden’s executive order that federal projects are contracted with unionized workforces. Unions don’t need lip service; they deserve a champion.
