Issue Position: Work Force

Issue Position

All workers deserve the right to a quality job that provides a living wage. I have been lucky enough to work for Local No. 4 as an elevator mechanic where my rights are protected. Rights and protections that are not afforded to all workers. We need protections that allow leave from a job to recover from a serious illness or to care for a new child without fear of retribution or termination.

In addition to fighting for greater protections, we need to ensure that our existing securities are safeguarded. This is done by combating efforts to erode anti-discrimination laws. Laws that make sure employers do not take advantage of staff, employees receive just compensation for their work, and that employees are able to work in a safe work in a harassment free environment.
