American workers are under attack. Over the past five decades, wages have stagnated and workers' protections have been stripped, which has resulted in a huge disparity of wealth in this country.

I will fight for all hard-working families to get the pay and benefits they've earned and will continue to support the backbone of a successful American economy: labor union organizing and the rights of workers.

It is time for workers to stand together and demand:

• At least a $15/hr. minimum wage and help for small businesses to meet that requirement over a period of time.

• The elimination of "Right to Work" laws, which are designed to prevent union organizing and to assist unscrupulous employers in exploiting their employees.

• Earned overtime and benefits such as paid family and medical leave, sick days, vacation time, and assistance with childcare.

• Equal pay for equal work.

• Safe working conditions.

• Strengthened collective bargaining units and freedom of association.

• The protection of labor standards and employment protections.

• Protection of pensions and retirement benefits.

• Passage of the WAGE Act (Workplace Action for a Growing Economy), which ensures the rights of workers to organize without retribution.

I stand with workers. Stand with me by making a donation today.
