WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Friday, August 29, Congressman Eugene Vindman (Va.-07) sat down for a roundtable discussion hosted by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) in Woodbridge, Virginia.
“My family achieved the American Dream because of the union benefits my Dad received as a member of AFSCME — and that’s why I’ll never stop fighting for working families,” said Vindman. “I’m thankful to those who joined this important conversation just ahead of Labor Day. I stand united with SEIU, AFSCME, and all union workers to defend the dignity of work and the promise of opportunity.”
The event brought together union members and local leaders for a conversation on how extreme Washington Republicans’ ‘Big, Ugly Bill’ will impact working families across Virginia. Participants shared stories about how losing access to lifesaving programs like Medicaid and SNAP would drastically impact their lives.
Vindman was joined by Virginia Delegates Candi Mundon King and Rozia Henson. During the event, they discussed the importance of building a pro-worker economy, investing in workers, and protecting collective bargaining rights.
