Walz Slams Anti-Union Scab Trump

An amazing pro-union speech

Aug 28, 2024

Today, Tim Walz delivered a powerful speech in front of the IAFF, America’s largest firefighters’ union, at their annual convention in Boston. Unlike anti-union scab Trump, Walz respects unions, and has always had a special place in his heart for first responders.

The Dem VP nominee perfectly laid out why working Americans should elect Kamala Harris, and never support Trump. Here are some of the best lines from his speech:

History of Supporting Unions

As Minnesota’s Governor I was proud to bolster resources for firefighter training and education. To invest in the equipment and the facilities to keep you safe. And to sign the most comprehensive firefighter wellbeing legislation in the nation.

Hits Trump for War on Workers

The only things these guys know about working people is, how to take advantage of them, how to not pay them. Every single chance they’ve gotten, they’ve waged a war on workers.

Slamming Anti-Union Trump

Words are cheap, actions is all you should care about…When Donald Trump was President, he blocked overtime benefits for millions of workers, he opposed efforts to raise the minimum wage, and he even proposed slashing budgets for federal fire service programs.

How Project 2025 Hurts Workers

One of the goals of their Project 2025, is to screw the middle class. Making it harder for workers to collectively bargain, allowing employers to drastically cut overtime or eliminate it, slash taxes for the ultra-wealthy by imposing a national sales tax on the rest of us.

What a President Harris and VP Walz Would Do

Sign the Pro Act, making it easier for Unions to organize…We’ll keep fighting to protect your retirement benefits, lowering taxes for working families and finally making corporations just pay their fair share. They’re doing fine, they can pay their fair share.

We don’t just call out the Press, we also cover the things they won’t. And you can count on us to give you the truth when they try to spin a story like this for Trump’s advantage. That’s why we wanted to be sure we reported on Walz’s rousing speech today.

Our work is paying off—we are forcing major news orgs to change their headlines and getting them to respond to our demands. And we are running the biggest hashtag campaigns in the country, supporting Kamala Harris and hitting Trump hard.
