"I understand," she acknowledged, "but you can also make the case that I offer the most pro-Labor and pro-worker policy platform of any candidate. I want to give almost three in five Americans a tax cut, I want to offer a competitive public healthcare option, I want to empower Unions with collective bargaining rights expanded industry-wide. I'm prepared to revisit our trade policy, and I'm ready to make apprenticeships and college degrees a reality for the kids of working families. My plan for retirement entitlements is also a realistic path forward when neither party's nominee can confidently say what shape Congress will take after November."
“On the trade policy, that’s a big one for me as well as my core voters. What is your plan for trade?”
"Trade is the slow killer of jobs, but tariffs are the killer of what jobs we have left. My plan is to re-evaluate all existing trade deals against environmental and labor standards, while simultaneously funding infrastructure plans that offer manual handling and manufacturing jobs here. Every project funded by a Federal Grant must use American domestic materials or federal money gets withheld. We've got to go one step further though, manufacturing here will dry up not due to trade but automation. We need the workforce of the twenty-first century equipped with the skills to compete, that means an education system that works for us all. Making college and vocational education within the reach of millions of working Americans. Trade policy isn't the only part that needs addressing if we want to talk jobs and wages."
