KAUKAUNA, Wis. — Today, David Crowley, Democratic nominee for governor, hosted a roundtable in Kaukauna with union leaders to discuss his plans to make life better for labor and more affordable for working class families across Wisconsin. Crowley’s pro-worker agenda includes restoring collective bargaining, supporting guaranteed wages, raising the minimum wage, and allowing labor unions to negotiate project labor agreements so workers can access fair pay, benefits, and working conditions. 

“For me, the choice we’re facing is this: Do we build an economy built around unions and working people, or do we allow Donald Trump and Tom Tiffany’s economy to wreak havoc on our neighbors? I know which side I’m on,” said Crowley. “This campaign is about making life better for working families across Wisconsin. And we accomplish that by strengthening our unions and working class, creating good-paying, family-supporting jobs, expanding affordable housing, and developing solutions that will lower property taxes. That’s why I’m running for governor.”

Crowley was raised in a union household. As County Executive, David Crowley created thousands of union-backed jobs, expanded access to apprenticeship opportunities for young people, and supported fair wages and benefits for working people across the community.

As governor, Crowley will restore full collective bargaining rights for public sector workers, stand firmly with unions, and protect workers’ right to organize, bargain, and strike without fear of retaliation. David will also expand career opportunities by increasing apprenticeship and trade school opportunities in both emerging technologies and in-demand trades like plumbers, electricians, and carpenters.

Crowley has received overwhelming support from Wisconsin’s labor organizations made up of thousands of hard-working union members. Meanwhile, Congressman Tiffany has spent nearly 20 years building his anti-worker record.
