Right now,
there is a historic wave of labor strikes happening across the country.
From the folks who make Heaven Hill bourbon here in Kentucky to the
workers at John Deere, workers are claiming their power. And winning.
Just a couple of weeks ago, UFCW 23D voted to ratify a new contract with
Heaven Hill after weeks of walking the picket line. So we’re celebrating
and raising a glass to the workers who fought hard for this victory with
some brand new merch — Booker for Kentucky Bourbon glasses.
Here they are, straight off the etching machine:

Senate bourbon glass - front bourbon is union made'
[ [link removed] ]If you’re ready, you can get yourself a glass now by making a donation
of $20 or more. A percentage of the proceeds will go toward supporting the
workers from the United Food and Commercial Workers Union who took
significant risks and fought hard for the benefits and protections they
deserve at Heaven Hill.

Over the years, I’ve been proud to stand on the picket lines with
teachers, on the railroad tracks with coal miners, and with workers at
Churchill Downs. Together, we held the line for fair wages, the right to
unionize, sick days and paid family leave, and for a shot at bettering our
children’s future.

So when unionized workers at Heaven Hill Distillery demanded a fair
contract from their management, I understood how important it was to
support the workers as they went on strike to demand that executives
support the people who make this industry the bedrock of Kentucky’s
economy.
Because that’s what we do in Kentucky. It’s part of who we are.
The workers I’ve met are the very reason why I’m running this election to
replace Rand Paul. Earlier this year, Rand introduced legislation that
would nationalize anti-union policies. Legislation that has proven to
reduce worker pay and put more money in the pockets of the rich. Together,
we must stand up to politicians like Rand and the companies who are
benefiting from his anti-union agenda.
Our
work isn’t over yet, and there’s a long way to go when it comes to
transforming the future of our Commonwealth and to deliver the policies
that working families in Kentucky need.
So in honor of our Commonwealth’s proud tradition in labor movements — and
in honor of the fights to come — we created a Booker for Kentucky Bourbon
glass.
[ [link removed] ]We’re excited to be able to share this glass with you, and we hope
you’ll consider making a $20 donation to get your very own. Part of your
contribution will go toward the United Food and Commercial Workers Union
so that they can continue taking on big fights.
