Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Warren Unveils Labor Plan to Vastly Expand Workers' Rights
BloombergElizabeth Warren unveiled a sweeping pro-labor plan on Thursday that would bolster workers’ ability to organize, bargain collectively and strike, as she and other Democratic presidential candidates vie for the support of organized labor.
The Massachusetts senator released her proposal before she was to appear at a forum in Los Angeles being hosted Friday and Saturday by the Service Employees International Union, the second-largest U.S. union.
Joe Biden will also participate, but Bernie Sanders, Warren’s chief rival for the progressive mantle, was forced to cancel campaign appearances after undergoing treatment for a blocked artery.
For Warren, who recently edged out Biden as the front-runner in some polls, the labor backing would provide a major source of votes, funds and ground troops.
