Working Families Need Whitmer — Michigan AFL-CIO Pres. Ron Bieber

“Working families need a governor who has the backbone to stand up to Republicans when they push anti-worker legislation. Whitmer has spent her entire career fighting back against attacks on our wages, our benefits, and our freedom to negotiate together. When Gov. Rick Snyder locked the people out of the Capitol to pass right-to-work legislation, Whitmer not only stood outside with our members, but she threw open the doors and led the protests from her office. . . . Whitmer has been on the front lines of the fight to ensure that all kids have the skills they need to get ahead. And as governor, she’ll invest more in skills and job training programs so workers can get a good job and earn enough to take care of their families and retire in dignity.” (Detroit News)
