Delivering for Workers
With Kamala Harris in the White House again, we’ll have a chance at a real future for working people in America. Her record of stepping up for workers speaks for itself. From day one, Vice President Harris has been a key partner in leading the most pro-labor administration in our lifetimes. At every step in her distinguished career in public office, she’s proven herself a tough and principled fighter for workers and a leader we can count on to deliver for us and uphold our values.
As Vice President, Harris:
- Played a critical role in rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure, investing in good-paying union jobs, bringing manufacturing back to America, lowering prescription drug costs and raising wages.
- Saved the pensions of more than 1 million union members and retirees.
Led the administration’s efforts to increase access to affordable child care and expand the child tax credit. - Championed worker organizing and chaired the White House Task Force on Worker Organizing and Empowerment, where she advocated for new worker organizing and training to create pathways to good union jobs.
- Stood with striking writers.
As U.S. Senator, Harris:
- Introduced the Domestic Workers’ Bill of Rights to guarantee domestic workers protections against harassment and discrimination, meal breaks, a guaranteed minimum wage, and overtime pay.
- Introduced legislation to extend overtime rights and guarantee new minimum wage rights to agricultural workers.
- Advocated vigorously for workers’ freedom to form or join a union and strongly supported the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act to reform broken labor law that stacks the deck against workers.
- Walked the picket line in 2019 with the UAW at the General Motors facility near Reno, Nevada.
As Attorney General of California, Harris:
- Cracked down on corporate greed and took on the big banks after the 2008 financial crisis to deliver relief for struggling homeowners.
- Protected the most vulnerable workers by tackling wage theft and other corporate crimes.
- Stood up to anti-union forces to protect pensions.
From taking on Wall Street and corporate greed to leading efforts to expand affordable child care and support vulnerable workers, Harris has shown time and again that she’s on our side.
With Kamala Harris in the White House, together we’ll continue to build the labor movement, expand the middle class and make our economy work for all of us. Together, we can and will defeat Donald Trump, JD Vance, and their anti-worker Project 2025 Agenda in November.

Corporate Interests Are Still Trying to Hold Back Worker Power
Working people are standing together to exercise our collective power and it’s working. That’s why it’s so important to stay engaged in the 2024 election, off-year elections and everywhere in between.
