Vice President Kamala Harris recently addressed a group of local union workers in Wisconsin, emphasizing how her policies would benefit the working class. She commended the workers for their efforts in advocating for fair pay, benefits, and safer working conditions, stating that the entire nation benefits from their work.
Harris highlighted the imbalance of power between workers and large corporations, stressing the importance of fighting for fairness. She pointed out that when union wages increase, it positively impacts everyone's wages, and when union workplaces prioritize safety, it enhances overall workplace safety. Harris firmly believes that a strong union presence contributes to a stronger America.
As part of her campaign's closing message to voters, Harris is focusing on a pro-labor agenda, with Wisconsin playing a crucial role in her presidential aspirations. Democrats are asserting that their policies, rather than those of the GOP, are truly beneficial to the working class.
The vice president has actively engaged with unions, attending various union events across the country. While President Joe Biden has touted himself as the most pro-union president, Harris's support for labor has sometimes been overshadowed by other campaign themes.
Harris has garnered endorsements from major union groups, including the United Steelworkers and Pennsylvania's Teamsters chapter. However, she did not secure endorsements from the national Teamsters group and the International Association of Fire Fighters, as both organizations opted not to endorse a presidential candidate.
