'Democrats hold the power, and now they need to use it ruthlessly and effectively to back up the working class,' said JohnFetterman.
Labor Action TrackerPennsylvania Lt. Governor John Fetterman, a progressive Democrat running for U.S. Senate, said in a statement Thursday that he was"proud to stand in solidarity with striking workers"who"stood up against their corporate bosses for better contracts, better pay, and better benefits."
"Their courage to strike was inspiring," said Fetterman."But today's statistics should be a sobering reminder that union membership is continuing to decrease and that the percentage of workers who have a union is at an all-time low; this is a national disgrace. When this survey began in 1983, union membership was almost double what it is now."
"Right now in Washington, Democrats hold the power, and now they need to use it ruthlessly and effectively to back up the working class," he continued."This means passing the PRO Act immediately, but passing the PRO Act should be the floor, not the ceiling... Union members built this country. They have had our back for years, it is past damn time that Washington finally has theirs.
