Senator Elizabeth Warren on Monday extolled the power and covenant of unions, lambasted GOP efforts to undermine them, and pledged if voters give Democrats control of Congress in November, the party will have organized labor’s back.
“Here’s my promise,” Warren said, “you give Democrats power in Washington, you give us back the House and the Senate, and Democrats will be there for unions and for workers!”
At Massachusetts’ marquee Labor Day breakfast, the state’s top Democratic politicians and union leaders offered hosannas to organized labor, and argued though unions are under attack, the movement stands strong and will be stronger still if American voters cast Democrats back into power.
“Let’s keep fighting every single day until November 6, and all the way to 2020, when we take back Washington for working families,” said Mayor Martin J. Walsh, a former union leader.
