Issues: Business and Consumers Employment and Affirmative Action Labor Unions Economy and Fiscal Business, Consumers, and Employees

Workers of the IL-16 deserve good, high paying jobs and a vibrant, dynamic economy. We must apply pressure to our government to invest in small businesses and job training programs that prepare people for a modern economy. We must diversify the jobs market and commit to the kinds of sustainable development that will result in long-term economic health and opportunity, not just short-term solutions to urgent problems.

We must fight for the working poor by providing access to quality, affordable housing and ensuring there are opportunities for training and education. We must fight for the middle class by strengthening consumer protections and paying attention to the issues that affect people's lives every day; policies like paid family leave and affordable childcare. We must fight for workers' rights by supporting unions and opposing legislation that further empowers employers at the expense of their employees.
