Senator Gillibrand will be in Rochester this afternoon to express support for pro-union legislation pending in Congress.
She says the Protecting the Right to Organize Act would strengthen workers’ rights to organize and bargain for fairer wages, better benefits, and safer workplaces.
Gillibrand says the bill would address what she calls "the income inequality crisis" that she says was made worse by the pandemic.
She will appear with local labor leaders at Teamsters Local #118 in Brighton.
