Columbus, OH — In case you missed it, JD Vance went to speak to a group of firefighters last week and was promptly greeted with a chorus of boos, especially when he claimed that he was part of the most “pro-worker ticket in history.” 

It’s not surprising, considering Vance’s track record of only working for himself while Ohio workers fall behind. One of JD’s few tangible policy positions while in the Senate was opposing the PRO Act, which has been called the “holy grail of labor reform” and voted against NLRB rules that would give workers more leverage when organizing and negotiating. 

And he defended his running mate after he celebrated firing striking workers and stood by his side even after he referred to unions as “dues-sucking.” So much for the “most pro-worker ticket in history.”

“Firefighters in Boston spoke for all of us when they told JD Vance loud and clear they saw through his blatantly false claims about his record on labor,” said Ohio Democratic Party spokeswoman Katie Seewer. “Vance’s reception comes as no surprise to Ohioans who watched him turn his back on them in favor of chasing power for himself . We may have buyers’ remorse, but we’re going to make sure the rest of the country doesn’t too.
