Organized labor and the right to collectively bargain is critical for the well-being of individuals, families and our overall economy. I believe that the decline of unions has a direct correlation to the income inequality our District and the country faces today. I would be more than open to working with community members and my colleagues on Beacon Hill in exploring options to address this crisis. I am also no stranger to picket lines and will absolutely work with unions to publicly call out agencies and companies that work against our efforts.
