I hope you are enjoying a well-earned day off today. As you probably know, Labor Day is a holiday to honor and recognize the American labor movement and its achievements.

Weekends, paid-time-off, health care, eight-hour workdays, and many more tangible, everyday benefits were made possible by strikes and unionizing of workers generations before us.

While this is a day to celebrate the contributions of past generations, it’s also a day to look forward and take stock of what still needs to be done.

Union workers across our state continue to be exploited and denied dignity. Earlier this spring, I visited workers in Janesville that are currently fighting for their livelihoods because a private equity firm decided to move 200 jobs from Janesville to Mexico.

What’s happening in Janesville has and continues to occur across our state. We need elected officials that will side with workers every time.

That’s why I’m proudly pro-worker and pro-union. John, I even wrote a book about successfully standing up to Wall Street and saving a paper mill.

That’s why I’m incredibly proud to have Union endorsements that include: *

On Labor Day, I want to let you know where I stand; that will always be on the side of hard-working Wisconsinites.

Happy Labor Day,

Tom Nelson serves as County Executive for Outagamie, one of the worst-hit COVID areas in the nation. Local officials have been leading our country through the pandemic because Donald Trump and Ron Johnson have failed. Tom is running for U.S. Senate because we need real leaders in Washington who will take COVID seriously. And if we can take on a pandemic, we can take on anything. And if you can win in a red county six times, you can win anywhere. If you’d like to unsubscribe, click here. [[link removed]]
