Uphold the Right to Organize and Collective Bargaining
Protecting workers' rights to organize and collectively bargain is essential for fostering sustainable wage growth, particularly for Black, Brown, Indigenous, and rural communities who are purposefully overlooked in these discussions.
In spite of challenges faced by working families in Wisconsin, workers across our state have come together to advocate for fair treatment and better conditions, setting precedents that have positively influenced labor laws nationwide. By allowing workers to negotiate for fair wages and humane working conditions, we not only promote economic equity but also uphold the dignity and humanity of every individual in the workforce. Furthermore, ensuring the right to organize serves as a crucial counterbalance to systemic racism and corporate influence. It empowers workers to challenge injustices and demand accountability from employers, creating a more just and equitable society for all.
Now is the time to stand in solidarity with workers and support their right to organize, not only to improve working conditions but also to advance the interests of all working families across Wisconsin. Together, let's build a future where every worker is treated with dignity, respect, and fairness.
Local
Workers are demanding that public investments in private development result in good jobs for their community. MASH example of CBA to bargaining rights and contracts.
State
Stop throwing money at corporations, especially without any requirement on job quality and union rights.
Get rid of preemption: Allow and encourage cities and towns to require strong labor standards when public money makes private development possible.
Get rid of Act 10 and so called “right to work”: Wisconsin policy could support these campaigns but to do so, we must overturn our restrictions on public and private sector bargaining rights.
