Las Vegas, NV – Today, while Republicans in Cleveland celebrate Donald Trump’s disastrous economic ideas, Nevada’s largest union officially endorsed Hillary Clinton for President in Las Vegas. In her speech to the Culinary Workers Union Local 226, Clinton touted the need to pass immigration reform, protect the rights of union workers and build an economy that works for everyone.
Here’s a reminder of Trump’s me-first business record and anti-worker agenda:
-
Trump’s economic plan would destroy an estimated 3.5 million jobs and lead to a prolonged recession
-
Trump’s tax policies would increase the national debt by $11.5 trillion
-
Trump is against raising the minimum wage, and he says wages are “too high”
-
Trump rooted for and was excited about the housing market crash: “I sort of hope that happens because then people like me would go in and buy.”
-
Trump defends outsourcing American jobs to foreign countries, and his Trump products aren’t actually made in America
-
Trump spent “more than half a million dollars” last year attacking workers fighting to get a fair union contract at Trump Hotel in Las Vegas
-
Trump refused to pay a Las Vegas drapery factory owner for hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of work, forcing his small business to close
“As our next President, Hillary Clinton will be a champion for Nevada’s working families on issues like raising the minimum wage, passing immigration reform, and fighting for affordable health care,” said Nevada State Democratic Party spokesman Stewart Boss. “Donald Trump in the Oval Office would be a complete dumpster fire for our economy and the American people because he is reckless and has only ever cared about enriching himself at the expense of working families.”
