Clinton makes pro-union pitch to voters on Labor Day
- 9 years ago
Hillary Clinton remained focused on Republicans during a two-day swing through Iowa, and told voters on Labor Day one of her biggest jobs as president will be "to defend and protect your right to organize collectively."
Clinton promised to "make sure that some employers go to jail for wage theft and all the other abuses they engage in" and to protect union pensions.
"It is going to be a fight.
Make no mistake about it.
It's going be a hard election," Clinton said at a backyard meet-and-greet on Sunday in Cedar Rapids.
"The other side has said they will spend, do, and say anything to win back the White House.
I have a little experience with that and I am absolutely confident that whatever they throw at me, I can throw it right back."
Clinton sat down for an interview with The Associated Press on Monday, where the former secretary of state said she doesn't need to apologize for her nagging email controversy because "what I did was allowed."
