Issue Position: Protecting Organized Labor

Issue Position

As an organizational researcher, I value facts. And the facts are clear: the loss of middle-wage jobs followed the loss of membership in organized labor. The "Right to Work" laws passed by Rick Snyder and his far-right cronies were just the opposite. They created a work environment where wages and benefits were no longer negotiated as equal partners, and now they want to repeal the "Prevailing Wage," which raises the wages of all skilled labor, regardless if they participate in a union or not.
​
Disrupt. Divide. Conquer.

This has been the plan since the DeVos's took over the Republican Party in the early 90's. Nationally, the donor class has never been richer, even as the middle class finds itself losing members with stagnant wages for nearly 15 years.
