and labor

Pennsylvania’s U.S. Senate race will play a big role in deciding which party controls the chamber next year, and one of the big policy areas affected by that control is workers’ rights.

Lt. Gov. John Fetterman has run a campaign premised, in large part, on his support for organized labor; “the union way of life is sacred” has been a refrain since he launched his Senate bid last year. Celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz has mainly focused his job-related rhetoric on broad economic issues, saying Pennsylvania needs to produce more natural gas and coal, and that the U.S. needs to do less business with China.

With Labor Day upon us and candidates in Pennsylvania’s big races taking advantage of optics in historic union hubs like Pittsburgh and Wilkes-Barre, here’s how Oz and Fetterman compare on labor policy.

What Fetterman has said about labor issues

One of the key parts of labor policy currently before the U.S. Senate is the Protecting the Right to Organize Act, or PRO Act, a package of reforms designed to make collective bargaining easier.

1. Unions are needed

I worked for GM for 30 years as an engineer, then all of a sudden, I could do nothing right. The company stopped adding to my pension in early 2000s, our medical in retirement is a joke. All of this happened to salaried, but if you were UAW, you kept these things. I wish the union would have tried to unionize us, so we would have some protection.

Union strong!!!!!!!!!!!
