John — I had
the opportunity to speak with a retired longshoreman a few months back,
and I just had to share his story.
I asked him how he was doing in his retirement.
And he said, “When I was a longshoreman, I didn’t go to the doctor unless
I was bleeding…Now that I’m retired, I go all the damn time. And this
union gave me health care.”
That’s what labor does for people. It gives them a chance to be paid
fairly and retire with dignity.
Day after day on the campaign trail, I hear incredible stories from
hard-working people who are concerned about whether their pay and benefits
will be enough to support themselves and their families.
The reality is that our economy is not working for far too many people.
And the problem isn’t that people aren’t working. It’s that people are
working and still can’t make enough to get by.
That’s why this longshoreman’s story has stuck with me. The power of
collective bargaining through a union has paved the way for workers to get
better wages and benefits, safer working conditions, and a dignified
retirement.
From the start of my career, I’ve stood shoulder to shoulder with the
labor movement. I launched this campaign at the IATSE Hall — the home of
the labor union that powers our film and television industry. I’ve marched
on picket lines with striking writers and actors, and I’ve introduced
legislation to give them access to the unemployment benefits they depend
on while they’re fighting for all of us.
I’m going to keep fighting to protect workers, like the retired
longshoreman I met on the campaign trail. From the writers and actors to
autoworkers and Amazon factory workers, the labor movement is driving
progress toward making the economy work for everyone, and in the Senate, I
will never stop fighting for working people.
