Minnesota Governor Tim Walz recently spoke at the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees union’s convention in Los Angeles, emphasizing his union ties and support for organized labor. Walz, a former public school teacher, highlighted the significance of being a union member on a major party presidential ticket, noting that he is the first since Ronald Reagan.
During his speech, Walz praised Vice President Kamala Harris for her efforts in supporting organized labor and expressed confidence that she would sign labor-friendly bills such as the PRO Act and the Public Service Freedom to Negotiate Act if she were to become president. He contrasted Harris and himself with former President Donald Trump, whom he referred to as a “scab” and accused of seeking to eliminate public sector unions.
