From living wages to parental leave, it’s always been impt to me that wherever possible, my campaign walks the walk.

This whole process was really eye-opening & I learned a lot!

As a nonprofit employee & a waitress, I always worked in right-to-work places. Seeing the power of a union up close was inspiring.

I also gained insight into anti-union arguments, which is helpful for countering them.

For example, I have heard employers say “we already offer great benefits, why bother unionizing?”

We offered great benefits too - many of which were ratified in our contract!

A union can also:
a) Protect these benefits, &/or
b) Establish impt non-monetary rights & protections
