Everyone in Connecticut deserves a safe and healthy work environment. I joined Connecticut AFL-CIO to commemorate Workers Memorial Day and remember those who lost their lives on the job.

Connecticut must protect working people from Trump's anti-worker policies. That's why Executive Board members of the Connecticut AFL-CIO delivered a letter, signed by every member, to Gov. Lamont this afternoon urging him to support unemployment insurance for striking workers.
