Simply put, wages are at stake in this election. Minimum wage in Virginia has increased and is slated to increase again in the coming years; however, the outcome of the 2023 Election Cycle will dictate whether or not the upward path to $15 minimum wage in the Commonwealth is upheld or stopped. It is important that the labor movement and all of our members are voting in their best interest -- to increase the working people's wages.

Another issue at stake in this election is the right to organize. The right to organize is critical to protect a  worker's voice on the job, to be the avenue to better pay and benefits, and to improve working conditions.

The 2023 election cycle will set the trajectory to organizing across the Commonwealth.
