Sara Rodriguez on Jobs

 

 


Union rights critical because they lift wages for everyone

My top priorities are housing, child care, fixing the school funding formula, and restoring union bargaining rights. Union rights are critical because they lift wages for everyone, not just union members. If one hospital is unionized, nurses there get higher pay, and nonunion hospitals often raise wages to compete. That's how unions benefit all workers.
