I agree. We need a holistic approach. I was very impressed that the AFL-CIO and the Chamber of Commerce were able to come together and sign off on what Senators, the Group of Eight in the Senate, had devised. My goodness, if the Chamber of Commerce and AFL-CIO can come together, certainly Republicans and Democrats in this institution can come together, as well.

It’s time that labor standards caught up. I’m proud to continue partnering with Senator Sanders in reintroducing this bill to make sure that the gains from historically high productivity are felt by all American workers.
America belongs to all of us. Let’s Go For Broke. Go all in for democracy. Go all in for equality. Go all in for freedom.
Every generation must take up the work of renewing and perfecting the idea of America so that America lives up to its promise.
