The US economic system must work to the benefit of all, rather than just the wealthy few. Working people are the backbone of the US economy and deserve a fair share of the wealth they help create.

Strengthening worker bargaining power is the key to ensuring a stronger economy that will support families and communities in the future. The four building blocks of worker bargaining power are collective bargaining and strong unions, full employment, strong worker protections, and robust public investment.

As a member of Congress, I will support and advocate for proposals to make big corporations and the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes, so we can raise significant revenue and make much needed investments in infrastructure, healthcare, Social Security, education, and well-paying jobs for working people.

I support raising the national minimum wage, along with indexing that wage with inflation. I support allowing more workers to be eligible for overtime pay, based on how low their salary is. We must also require corporations to accurately designate workers as contractors or employees.

I support the independent and bipartisan nature of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). We must strengthen the NLRB and overturn the Taft Hartley Act to increase union collective bargaining power.

Additionally, I will co-sponsor and vote for the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act in the 120th Congress, so that all working people have the freedom to join together and negotiate with their employers for better wages and working conditions.
