Updates from State Rep. Nick Gauthier for Sept. 2, 2025

Having just celebrated the holiday, I wanted to share our Labor Day statement from the Democratic members of the Labor and Public Employees Committee: Labor Day is the day we honor and celebrate the achievements, social and economic, of the American worker as well as the labor movement that fought for better working conditions during the 19th century. Today, the American worker is under attack by the most anti-worker, anti-labor administration in our history, and just recently, the administration intensified its attacks on the union rights of federal employees at several agencies. Here in Connecticut, state lawmakers have taken action to protect workers, including strengthening labor laws at the state level and launching programs to mitigate potential changes from the federal government. We also enhanced wage protections and expanded paid leave. The Office of the Attorney General is in place as an advocate for federal workers facing challenges. We care about workers in Connecticut, and we stand with them. We will continue to fight back against policies or Executive Orders that would harm them and their families.
