See my statement on the Governor's veto of collective bargaining

Governor Spanberger’s Veto of Collective Bargaining Rights for State Workers

State workers provide an array of invaluable services for all Virginians from home healthcare, road maintenance, public safety, teaching, to many more.

Through my extensive collaboration with local unions and discussions with constituents, I know that collective bargaining rights are essential to guarantee state employees’ rights.

That’s why I proudly supported HB1263/SB378 to repeal the historical prohibition on collective bargaining for state workers.

Under the current system, many of our most vital workers often feel overworked, underpaid, and undervalued.

Our allies in unions like Unite Here, SEIU Virginia 512, IAFF local 2498 have fought to improve working conditions for people across our district.

By passing HB1263 and SB378, Democrats in the General Assembly voted to allow state workers the right to collective bargaining. We fought hard to include as many people as possible in the final bill and succeeded.
