Labor
As a proud representative of working families in New York and a lifelong supporter of labor rights, I know that unions are the backbone of the American middle class. They have fought tirelessly for the rights we too often take for granted, like the 40-hour work week, fair wages, health and safety protections, and the dignity of a voice on the job.
All workers deserve the right to unionize and collectively bargain. Unions don’t just benefit their members — they uplift entire communities. They help close racial and gender wage gaps, ensure that work is met with respect, and build a pathway to the American Dream, especially for those historically shut out.
