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.
