NABTU Legislative Conference 2026 - Rep. Greg Casar Remarks

Published | Video Starts at 11:44

And here's an idea. We haven't changed overtime since the 1930s. I know so many people in your cities, so many of Your members pull seven 12s and barely get ahead. What if we make it so that overtime pays more than a time and a half so they have time with their families, can save up, and can actually get ahead after they work seven days a week? That's not a radical idea because they have the money. With your help, we can build a country and a party that puts working people first. Where we are for every union member. (11:44–11:54)
