About 10,000 John Deere workers have been on strike since the farm and construction equipment giant refused to meet their reasonable desire for fair wages and safe working conditions. Every worker deserves a livable wage, and I stand with John Deere workers in demanding that the company pay them what they deserve.
John Deere could give every single employee a $20/hour raise and still earn nearly $3 billion in profit each year. This is simply corporate greed, and I’m tired of it.
John Deere workers are just the latest workers to strike in a renewed wave of labor organizing. We are in a moment of reckoning, and American workers are sick of turning a profit for wealthy CEOs and corporate billionaires while they themselves struggle to make ends meet.
Years of wages that haven’t kept up with the rising cost of living, along with a global pandemic that has shown corporate America’s true colors, is causing workers to stand up and demand fair treatment. We must stand with them.
It’s time for a new kind of leadership in Wisconsin. Gillian built her career on integrity, advocacy, and action, and she’s ready to put that skill set to work in the U.S. Senate!
