Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz are rallying voters across the Midwest this week, looking to build on support from key union leaders as they promote a message of pro-labor policies that they say benefit the middle class.
Part of the task at hand, one top AFL-CIO executive told CNN, is connecting the infrastructure and semiconductor laws that Biden and Harris enacted to the economic boon felt in various industries.
“There’s so much work available, and they’re trying to bring in more apprentices, get more people trained up because of these investments,” said Greg Regan, the president of the Transportation Trades Department at the AFL-CIO. “This is not surface-level stuff.”
