TUCSON, Ariz. — Wednesday Rep. Ruben Gallego stopped by Teamsters Local 104 in Tucson to speak with union members about some of the issues they're hoping he addresses if elected to the Senate.
Gallego says big corporations have made organizing a challenge. He also says unionizing is important in an economy that's changing. In a statement when the PRO Act was introduced back in February, he spoke to the role organized labor practices play in strengthening the economy: "It's an important source of jobs and upward mobility for working people in this country, and continuing that conversation in making sure that we as a country have the ability to be sufficient, self-sufficient and keep our folks employed," says Muir.
Wednesday's meeting also comes just one day before a new deal is due between UPS and the Teamsters Union.
