Question about project 2025

How will it affect workers?

Answer

The platform seeks to undo much of the progress that has been made for workers in recent decades. It calls for slashing the minimum wage and could put children at risk by creating more dangerous working conditions, and in some cases, weaken labor protections so corporations could exploit workers and destroy the environment. If a future administration adopts it, there could be widespread job losses and a more dangerous workplace environment for workers, with fewer protections in place. The platform proposes weakening child labor protections and making it easier to allow corporations to cut overtime pay. This would be disastrous for millions of workers, leaving many with fewer job security and the protections that have been built into the existing framework.
