‘I support unionization’: U.S. Labor Secretary Marty Walsh on unions and the right to strike.

Video Transcript

MARTY WALSH: Unions bring opportunities for people in this country they otherwise wouldn't have-- the power of collective bargaining, the power of fighting for raising their wages, the power of pensions, the power of other kind of pension plans, 401(k)s. So I think that there's opportunities here for us to rebuild the middle class by that.

And certainly I support collective bargaining and I support unionization, but I also support it being done the right way. So if people want to organize, they should be able to organize. And if people choose not to organize, they should have that right as well.
