Texas AFL-CIO announces pro-worker priorities for the 89th Legislative Session

OP / ED

The Texas AFL-CIO, representing more than 240,000 union workers and their families across the state, released their Fair Shot Legislative Agenda for the 89th Texas Legislative Session.

“Texas workers are fed up and ready to demand more from our state officials,” Texas AFL-CIO President Rick Levy said. “We want to see our state lawmakers fight for workers, not their billionaire backers. We want wages to go up. We want our public school teachers supported. We want our retirees taken care of, and we want our families to be able to make ends meet. These pro-worker priorities are the standard we’ll be holding our elected officials to this session.”
