Puget Sound Chapter CBTU

Proud to announce that CBTU has endorsed VP Kamala Harris for President! VP Harris has stood with workers, and we’re excited to stand with her!

With Kamala Harris in the White House, together we’ll continue to build on the powerful legacy of the Biden-Harris administration to create good union jobs, grow the labor movement and make our economy work for all of us.

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 workers 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 championed for new worker organizing and training to create pathways to good union jobs
* Stood with striking writers

CBTU is excited to mobilize on behalf of Kamala Harris for President, and we will
