Joe comes from a union family - his sister is a deputy regional field organizer for SEIU, his mother was a member of AFSCME local 1739 and his father was a member of the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers.

Protecting unions from right to work legislation and paycheck protection legislation.
Rolling back 2012 changes to laws that have hurt trade unions
Raising the minimum wage to $15 and then indexing it to inflation
Protecting the earned pensions of state and municipal employees
