Issue Position: Organized Labor

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2019
Issues: Labor Unions

Freedom means the ability to organize in order to hold employers accountable and advocate for fair pay.

KEY POLICY
Pass a new Wagner Act to support the role of organized labor and defend the right of workers to organize
Our nation's middle class was built by organized labor, and rising attacks on labor have led to the middle class becoming more and more vulnerable. And because of historical exclusions in our labor laws, many women workers and workers of color have been unable to collectively bargain. Pete believes that unions must have a powerful seat at the table -- to stand up against unfair and abusive practices and to collaborate in improving work environments and productivity.
