When Candidates Stand With Workers, They Win
Last night, voters across the country sent a clear message: When candidates stand with workers, they win. For too long, politicians have chased billionaire donors instead of listening to the workers who teach our children, care for our sick, build infrastructure, operate machines, harvest food, stock shelves, keep us safe and power our essential services. The candidates who earned voters’ trust focused on making life more affordable, creating good jobs and restoring the dignity of work. From city halls to statehouses across the country, workers elected leaders who will help us build an economy for the people, not the billionaire bosses.
"This Election sent a clear message to any candidate running in Ohio: If you won't stand with all workers and have a plan to reduce costs, help make housing affordable and increase good-paying jobs, it will be a tough hill to climb," said Ohio AFL-CIO President Tim Burga. "Americans are tired of politicians that divide us and we are ready to support those who have a vision to bring us together and move our country forward."
