Collective bargaining Quote by Jan Schakowsky

“Food service workers, home care workers, farm workers, and other low-wage workers log long hours. They come home tired after providing services and producing goods that make our country stronger. They deserve fair treatment from their employers, and they deserve a voice in collective bargaining.” quote by Jan Schakowsky
