Dustin Peyer: Support unions; raise minimum wage

Any workforce should have the right to unionize for better wages, safety standards, retirement, healthcare, and other things that create a more positive workforce. We plan on supporting bills that will strengthen the workforce, New Trade Policies so the Corporate America Invests in this country rather than shutting down here and moving abroad, we support of the minimum wage to $15 an hour.
