Issue Position: Championing Workers' Rights

Issue Position

Collective bargaining is and should continue to be a fundamental right. In their attempts to limit the political power of labor organizations and their workers, the far right has attacked workers' fundamental freedoms. People should be free to organize as a group and collectively ask for better, safer, and fairer working conditions and to share in the success of their labor. I deplore the tactics of organizations like the Freedom Foundation that seek to manipulate working people into weakening their bargaining position in the workplace. I will do everything I can as your Senator to speak up for workers and their right to organize, and will oppose attempts to make Washington a "right to work" state, an Orwellian-named policy that in truth undermines workers and their ability to make their voices heard.
