I’m unapologetically pro-worker, but that doesn’t mean we can’t talk to one another to try to find solutions. I walked the picket line with United Electrical workers and spoke with the union to hear about the real needs of workers and their families. Then I spoke with Wabtec management to lay out what I’d learned and to hear about the company’s own position, aiming to find a solution and win a deal that worked for the workers.
