Dan Osborn for Senate
Your union has done the research and believes Dan Osborn is the best choice for working people.
Osborn has proven that he will fight to ensure workers have a voice in the workplace, protect and strengthen labor standards and expand employment protections.
Here are some key excerpts from his platform:
- As a senator, I would support passing the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, mandatory bereavement leave for all workers, and addressing the shortcomings of the 2022 agreement imposed on railroaders, including guaranteeing seven days of paid sick leave for all workers.
- I would support raising the federal minimum wage to Nebraska’s wage. With Nebraska’s recent minimum wage increase, we risk being uncompetitive with neighboring states. A federal minimum wage increase is an urgent issue for all Nebraska businesses.
- I would support strong and well-funded public schools. They are the backbone of America’s education system. Our schools are our pride. Those seeking to drive an ideological agenda through the schools are trying to divide us, through the institution that brings us together.
- Overtime places serious burdens on workers and families. Adding insult to injury, workers receiving overtime pay find themselves bumped into a higher tax bracket. These workers are making significant sacrifices in their personal lives that are not fairly reflected by their tax treatment. Overtime wages should not bump a taxpayer into a higher bracket. Additionally, for the purposes of calculating eligibility for any income-related benefits, overtime wages should not be included.
