Bloomberg unveils sweeping labor plan [View all]

Michael Bloomberg’s presidential campaign released a sweeping labor plan Saturday that puts the former New York City mayor in line with some of the most popular policies within the Democratic Party.

The plan supports policies like a $15 per hour minimum wage and paid family and sick leave while also proposing efforts to strengthen unions – all platforms that have gained widespread backing among the party in recent years.

“I started out in an entry-level job, and in building my business, I have always believed that our company’s most valuable asset is our 20,000 employees – and that’s why we are committed to providing good pay and the best benefits money can buy, including industry-leading paid parental leave," Bloomberg said in a statement.

“Donald Trump inherited his wealth and does nothing but pay lip service to the working people who drive America. It’s past time to increase wages, guarantee paid leave and make it easier to organize – and, as president, I’ll get it done.”
