Tom Nelson on Jobs

 

 


Joined with United Steelworkers to save shuttered paper mill

As Outagamie County's chief elected official, I lead one of the state's best-managed counties (Aaa rating) that provides public health & other crucial services during the pandemic. In 2017, I joined the United Steelworkers in helping save a paper mill that had been auctioned off to an industrial scrap dealer. Today the mill is alive and well and supports 300 jobs.

Strengthen unions, recognize importance of labor movement

But Nelson is realistic. He knows that this story represents only one green shoot "poking out through the infertile soil of corporate greed and showing what can be done to change the destructive dynamic that currently dominates the American economy." He proposes to nurture that shoot, by strengthening unions and by remaking the Democratic Party so that it more deeply recognizes "the labor movement and how it is inextricably part of a larger socioeconomic organism."
