Friend, right now, there is a historic wave of labor strikes happening across the country.
From the folks who make Heaven Hill bourbon here in Kentucky to the workers at John Deere – workers are claiming their power. And winning.
Just last week, UFCW 23D voted to ratify a new contract with Heaven Hill after weeks of walking the picket line. UAW was able to pressure John Deere into reversing their plans to cancel health care benefits for striking workers.
But the fight isn’t over. Across the country, thousands of workers continue to hold the line for better wages.
Over the years, I’ve been proud to stand on the picket lines with teachers, on the railroad tracks with coal miners, with workers at Churchill Downs.
Together, we held the line for fair wages, the right to unionize, sick days and paid family leave, and for a shot at bettering our children’s future.
Because that’s what we do in Kentucky, friend. It’s part of who we are. It was in our hills where the labor movement got its legs, and we’ve been holding the line ever since.
The workers I’ve met are the very reason why I’m running this election to replace Rand Paul. Earlier this year, Rand introduced legislation that would nationalize anti-union policies. Legislation that has proven to reduce worker pay and put more money in the pockets of the rich. Together, we must vote out politicians like Rand who are funded by companies that benefit from his anti-union agenda.
I know if we keep this momentum up we can deliver the changes workers urgently need in our country. Will you add your name and show your support for every worker on strike right now across the country?
Let’s keep holding the line,
Charles.
