Question about project 2025
How will it affect workers?
Answer
The document seeks to weaken unions, which help people of color fight for better wages, overtime protections, and safer working conditions. They also want to allow more Black, brown, and disabled people to work dangerous jobs with fewer safety precautions in place. In some places, young people could even be asked to work more dangerous jobs as they won't have protections against companies pushing them to do more and take on greater risk than other people who might have more education and training. If the document is implemented, corporations would be able to further take advantage of workers who are unable to unionize. Project 2025 will negatively impact workers.
