Brown, Rubio trade barbs over 'dignity of work' as Brown mulls presidential bid [View all]

Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) traded barbs Thursday over Brown's "dignity of work" mantra.

The feud came as Brown, who is said to be considering a presidential bid, continues his "Dignity of Work" tour that began in Cleveland and will take him to Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada — four critical early primary states.

“For all work to have dignity, we must: Raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour. Ensure workers are paid the overtime they earn. Pass equal pay for equal work laws. Make it easier for workers to join a union,” Brown tweeted Thursday morning.


“True dignity of work isn’t achieved by just using government to command that low-paying jobs get more pay & benefits," Rubio responded shortly after.
