Republicans want to privatize Iowa – Medicaid, vouchers and now IPERS and corrections health care. Public workers do it better and are accountable to their communities! Stop selling off Iowa jobs, stand with public workers. #ThankAUnion.

Reminder: Trump just took collective bargaining rights from 80 percent of federal workers. That’s why we must stand on the right side of history, stand against union-busting and shout our support for workers’ rights from the rooftops! #ThankAUnion

This #LaborDay, I’m proud to stand with the workers who keep our communities strong.
At the @NLRB, I learned firsthand that when workers have a voice, our whole community thrives. That's how we got the 40 hour work week, OSHA, sick leave, & more.

Weekends. Paid vacation. Overtime. Minimum wage. Safe workplaces. ✊🏽
None of these were gifts—they were fought for by workers who organized.
Next time you hear someone say unions don’t matter, remind them: we wouldn’t have these protections without unions.
