Team Ritchie - We just picked up another huge labor endorsement!

Team, Donald Trump likes to portray himself as a champion for the American worker, but New Yorkers know better.   From refusing to pay contractors for completed work, to being investigated by the Department of Justice for housing discrimination, Donald Trump’s hostility to working people has always been on display -- and it’s only gotten worse as president.   Thanks to policies designed to weaken collective bargaining and give greater control to corporate bosses, union membership has plunged to just 10 percent nationally, down from highs in the 1950s of more than 35 percent. Trump has even appointed a staunch union-buster as his labor secretary -- someone who has spent decades stripping away workers' rights on behalf of corporate clients. Ritchie isn’t afraid to stand up and fight for the rights of workers in the era of Trump. He’s honored to have the support of numerous labor unions across the city, including the Communications Workers of America, who represent more than 700,000 workers in the public and private sectors. Ritchie will hold the Trump administration accountable for their union-busting policies, and he’ll champion legislation that puts a stop to the unchecked power of corporations. But Ritchie needs your help.    -- Team Ritchie
