Democratic Party platform backs right to organize By Mark Gruenberg, Workday Minnesota
The platform, written by a panel chaired by pro-labor Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., strongly supports labor rights.
'We will ensure that the right to organize a union exists in the real world, not just on paper, because that's how we create more jobs that can support families,' it declares.
'That means reforming our labor laws to protect the rights of workers, including public employees, to bargain contracts and organize on a level playing field without interference. It also means barring the permanent replacement of legal strikers.
'We will reverse this administration's cuts in wages for working people by restoring overtime protections for hard-working Americans. We will strengthen health and safety protections as well,' it adds in a section entitled 'Standing Up For Workers.'------------------------------------------- posted 6:39 AM :: reference link ::
