Democrats will work to raise wages for working people and improve job quality and security, including by raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2026.

Democrats recognize that strong American labor unions help increase wages and job standards across the economy, so they will prioritize passing the PRO Act and restoring workers' rights, including the right to organize secondary boycotts.

Democrats will recognize unions with majority sign-up via "card check" processes and will ban captive audience meetings, which employers use to intimidate workers.

They will increase funding and staffing at the Department of Labor to enforce wage, hour, health, and safety rules aggressively.

Democrats will implement paid sick days and create a high-quality, comprehensive, and inclusive paid family and medical leave system, guaranteeing at least 12 weeks of paid leave for all workers and families. This will enable new parents to recover from childbirth and bond with their newborns, foster, or adopted children, and allow workers to care for themselves or ailing loved ones without losing pay.

Democrats will make significant investments in affordable, quality child care, including increasing the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit and providing access to high-quality child care on a sliding scale. They plan to boost funding for state grants to assist low- and middle-income families, improve compensation and benefits for child care providers, and implement universal, high-quality pre-K programs for three- and four-year-olds.

No specific mentions of workers’ rights regarding the right to organize or wage increases.

Republicans will make the Trump Tax Cuts permanent, including the provisions that doubled the standard deduction, expanded the Child Tax Credit, and spurred economic growth for all Americans. They also propose eliminating taxes on tips for millions of restaurant and hospitality workers and pursuing additional tax cuts.
