Kamala Harris Advocates for Union Workers in Detroit

On Labor Day, Vice President Kamala Harris highlighted the importance of unions in creating good-paying jobs and protecting workers' rights during her speech in Detroit. She emphasized how union support helped build the middle class in America and criticized former President Donald Trump for failing to uphold promises made to workers, particularly in Michigan where thousands of jobs were lost. Harris noted her administration’s efforts to pass significant infrastructure bills that have revived auto jobs, resulting in a significant increase in overall employment figures. She reassured union members about her commitment to empowering them to organize for better wages and working conditions. Harris stressed that the upcoming election would determine the future, contrasting her vision focused on growth, dignity, and opportunity against Trump’s past policies. She called for unity within the labor movement and rallied support from attendees to mobilize efforts in the lead-up to election day, which she deemed crucial for securing the rights and benefits that workers deserve. With a tone of conviction, she reminded everyone that the fight is collective and that every voice matters, citing the critical nature of voter participation in shaping the governance to come.
