Six Democratic presidential hopefuls declared their support for American workers...
LAS VEGAS - Six Democratic presidential hopefuls declared their support for American workers and a $15 federal minimum wage on Saturday as they seek the backing of labor unions in their battle to become the candidate to take on Republican President Donald Trump next year.
The courtship is also important for America’s unions. They have seen their political influence and membership decline over the past generation. Organized labor hopes that a huge field of 2020 Democratic candidates, now standing at 20, will enable them to make issues such as a federal minimum wage and the right to strike central issues in the campaign.
The legislation is co-sponsored by the five other senators competing against Sanders, including Kamala Harris of California, Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, who all spoke at the Las Vegas event. The event was organized by the Service Employees International Union, one of the country’s biggest with two million members, and the Center for American Progress Action Fund, part of a Washington-based liberal think tank.
