Preserve occupational safety and prevailing wage laws
Not only will I vote for the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA), I’ll proudly co-sponsor it. This bill would make it easier for employees who want to organize to do so without harassment or intimidation, and would reform a
labor relations system currently dominated by corporate interests. I’ll fight to preserve the integrity of our occupational safety and prevailing wage laws.

I’m a member of four unions
The Writers’ Guild of America (WGA), the Directors’ Guild of America (DGA), the Screen Actors’ Guild (SAG), and the American Federation of Television and Radio Actors (AFTRA).
My family and I get our health benefits from AFTRA, and our prescription drugs through the WGA. I’m also an associate member of the Steelworkers.

A hard day’s work should earn a decent day’s pay
Minnesota’s working families got a much-needed raise this year when the Democratic Congress followed through on its promise to raise the minimum wage. But life continues to grow riskier for middle-class families. Organized labor is one of the last
defenders of America’s working class; we must support workers’ right to organize. Even as we work to provide economic security for today’s working families, we should act now to ensure that a lifetime of hard work earns a secure & comfortable retirement.
