The economy is not working for the American people.Only 1 party has a platform for the next 4 yrs/the other has a loyalty pledge to a malignant narcissist who threatens our democracy1/13

Democrats will recognize unions with majority sign-up—via “card check” processes—and ban captive audience meetings, which employers use to bully and browbeat workers. 2/13 #DemPartyPlatform #UnionStrong #Solidarity

#Democrats will hold executives personally accountable if they interfere in workers’ efforts to organize, including issuing criminal penalties for intentional obstruction. 3/13 #DemPartyPlatform #UnionStrong

#Democrats will take action to guarantee that when workers come to the table, they are able to bargain with the employers who actually hold the power, including franchisors, and penalize companies that bargain in bad faith with their workers. 4/13 #UnionStrong

#Democrats will vigorously protect all private-sector workers’ right to strike without fear of coercion, interference, and undue delay. 5/13 #DemPartyPlatform #UnionStrong #DemFuture

#Democrats will establish the federal gov’s role in promoting &facilitating collective bargaining/helping the parties bring their negotiations to a rapid &successful conclusion, committing to a high standard for intervening in strikes, includ. under the Railway Labor Act. 6/13

The right of workers to come together and form a union is under attack. We must unrig the rules that block workers from having the union they want and update our labor laws to make it more possible.7/13 #DemPartyPlatform #UnionStrong #Solidarity

#Democrats know we must change labor law so that it is easier for unions and employers to enter into multi-employer agreements establishing minimum workplace standards related to wages, benefits, and working conditions. 8/13 #DemPartyPlatform #BidenHarris2020 #UnionStrong

#Democrats believe taxpayer dollars should never flow to employers who steal workers’ wages, violate labor laws, engage in union-busting, or exploit immigrant workers to depress working conditions for all workers.

#Democrats will increase funding and staffing at the Department of Labor to aggressively enforce wage, hour, health, and safety rules across the economy. 10/13 #DemPartyPlatform #DemFuture

#Democrats believe employees who are being misclassified, including gig and platform workers, deserve wage and workplace protections including minimum wage and overtime pay, and we support using the ABC test to determine employee status. 11/13 #DemPartyPlatform #WorkersRights

Democrats believe all workers should be able to hold their employers accountable for unpaid/underpaid wages, regardless of corp. structure.We support using grants & collaborative relationships w/community orgs to ensure workers know their rights/responsibilities under the law.12

Dems will strengthen labor rights for the more than 20M public-sector employees in U.S. by passing the Public Service Freedom to Negotiate Act,which would provide federal guarantee for public-sector employees to bargain for better pay/benefits/working conditions 13/13 #DemFuture
