Tim Walz Rallies Union Members Against Anti-Labor Policies of Trump and JD Vance

HeadlineAug 14, 2024

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has made his first solo campaign appearance since he was tapped as the Democratic Party’s vice-presidential nominee. On Tuesday, Walz spoke to public sector union members at AFSCME’s annual conference in Los Angeles, drawing a stark contrast between a future Harris administration and one led by Donald Trump and JD Vance.

Gov. Tim Walz: “The only thing those two guys knows about working people is how to work to take advantage of them. That’s what they know about it. Every single chance they’ve gotten, they’ve waged war on workers and their ability to collectively bargain, to take that away from them. Alls we’re asking for is better wages, better benefits, better lives and dignity in the work that we do.”
