Ohio Senator JD Vance delivered a message to a firefighters' union convention in Boston, emphasizing his commitment to improving wages for both union and non-union workers. During a campaign event in De Pere, Wisconsin, Vance expressed his desire for workers to have safe jobs and livable wages without facing challenges from public leadership.
Vance highlighted the importance of fair wages for a day's work, stating that this principle applies to both union and non-union workers. When questioned about his stance on right-to-work laws, Vance clarified that he did not support a national bill proposed last year and suggested that states should have the autonomy to decide on such legislation.
Regarding Wisconsin's right-to-work law and Michigan's recent decision to repeal its own law, Vance emphasized the need for states to make independent choices on this issue. He refrained from commenting on specific state laws, reiterating his belief in prioritizing rising wages, supporting American manufacturing, investing in American workers, and addressing border security concerns.
Vance's message to the firefighters' union underscored his advocacy for worker safety, fair compensation, and state-level decision-making on labor laws. His approach aims to support the interests of American workers, regardless of union affiliation, by focusing on economic growth and job security.
