Rep. Greg Casar | 2026 CWA Legislative Political Conference

Published | Video Starts at 08:17

We made them pay more when we guaranteed paid sick time for every worker in our community, union and non union. We made them pay more when we organized our mental health workers into CWA in Austin, Texas. We made them pay more when we took on the semiconductor manufacturers and said, even if you're building something we really need in this country, those workers deserve a union contract. We made them pay more when we sat at our airports. Whether you're a baggage handler or you work in security, or whether you are a flight attendant or a janitor, you deserve a living wage and a union contract. (08:17–08:28)

CLAIM
