Former Housing and Urban Development secretary Julián Castro unveiled a labor plan aimed at promoting union membership and supporting and protecting domestic workers and farmworkers
Washington Former Housing and Urban Development secretary Julián Castro on Wednesday unveiled a labor plan aimed at promoting union membership and supporting and protecting domestic workers and farmworkers.
Consisting of three new policy proposals, his plan is underpinned, he writes in a Medium post, by the belief that"all work has dignity and all workers should be valued with good pay, solid benefits, and the security of a strong union.""This fight is personal," the 2020 presidential candidate writes. He invokes his grandmother, who he says worked as a maid, cook and babysitter, and his mother, an organizer and activist.
