“That is why even in Texas, which has a long history of suppression of labor unions and where state laws provide almost none of the benefits of a union contract, we are seeing unprecedented organizing in tech jobs, non-profits, retail work, restaurants and health care to go with our traditional membership in the building trades, public sector and communications. The stage is set for working people to improve their lives by speaking up together – not only through organizing their workplace, but by making their voice heard at the ballot box. In this crucial election year, Texas labor is ready to elect candidates up and down the ballot who will fight for working Texans.”
