Issue Position: Workers' Rights

Issue Position

As a former member of the Communications Workers of America, I have long known the importance of strong unions to protect workers across Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania AFL-CIO endorsed me because I will always fight to protect and strengthen organized labor.

Labor rights and supporting working families are at the forefront of my principles. Recent court rulings and legislative attacks have chipped away at our unions' strengths. I am very concerned with protecting workers' rights and supporting the right to collective bargaining. I am a strong advocate for jobs with living wages and for raising the minimum wage.

I will work against right-to-work legislation and to strengthen protections against wage theft and illegal independent contractor statuses.
