Today, we recognize the strong impact the #LaborMovement has and continues to make for workers' rights in our country.
As we reflect this #LaborDay, we realize there is much work still needed to further protect unions and workers' rights.
Strong unions built the American dream for families all across the country.
We owe the 40-hour work week, paid leave, health care protections, and a collective voice in the workplace to workers who organized unions and fought for protections.
From the Industrial Revolution to the Civil Rights Movement, we have seen a significant change in workers' rights.
The fight continues – President Trump and Republicans have waged war on organizing, collective bargaining, and workers across this country.
Trump rewards the wealthy & during this pandemic, we have seen the rich get richer, the middle-class diminish & unemployment increase. He's proposed a tax cut for corporate execs while allowing extra unemployment assistance to lapse.
That is unacceptable. Families need support.
"If I have the honor of becoming President, I’m going to be the strongest labor president that workers have ever had.
Every major investment my Administration makes will support a ‘Made in America’ future—built by union workers." — @JoeBiden
