2024 OH Senate race: on Jobs

Bernie Moreno: Americans want to work, not be dependent on government

We must pursue policies that will lead to more (and better) jobs for Ohio's workers. That is why we need to make sure our workforce is properly equipped with the skills it needs to ensure that every worker can succeed. We also need to get people back to work. Now. Policy makers wanted people to stay home and avoid the workplace during the pandemic, so they paid people to do so. This work disincentive will harm our workers in the long-term because when the stimulus unemployment benefits run out, displaced workers will have a harder time on a new job, as they will have lost valuable skills during their time away from work. Americans do not want to be dependent on government; they want to work and provide for their families. Source: Ballotpedia Candidate Connection on 2024 Ohio Senate race Nov 9, 2021

Bernie Moreno: UAW is holding car companies hostage

Labor

Sherrod Brown (D): Easier. Joined the picket line with striking UAW workers. Introduced the PRO Act to protect workers' right to unionize.
Bernie Moreno (R): Mostly harder. "Some private sector unions are good at creating high-paying jobs," but sees the UAW as "holding car companies hostage." Parents are upset because "teachers unions are in charge of schools."
