Following the Alaska AFL-CIO’s endorsement of lifelong Alaskan and former fishing boat captain Mary Peltola last week, Alaskans should be reminded of Dan Sullivan’s anti-worker record.
Self-Serving Sullivan’s AFL-CIO report card last year came in at an abysmal 11%. He has betrayed Alaska workers, voting for bills that go against their best interests time and time again.
“Dan Sullivan has spent years undermining workers’ rights, hiking costs on Alaska working families, and lining his own pockets along the way,” said Alaska Democratic Party Chair Eric Croft. “Alaska has one of the highest union membership rates in the country and we deserve a senator that actually stands with our workers, not his Lower 48 special interest campaign donors.”
More on Sullivan’s anti-labor record:
Slashing VA Jobs: Sullivan-supported cuts caused VA staffing shortages, leading to gaps in veterans’ care, costing “good jobs that Alaskan workers rely on,” and weakening the critical infrastructure that keeps Alaska communities safe and healthy.
Trade War Layoffs: Dan Sullivan’s trade war led to layoffs of workers on Alaska’s North Slope. ConocoPhillips, which employed roughly 1,000 Alaskans, announced it would be laying off up to a quarter of its workforce.
Refuses to Back the PRO ACT: Despite its support from Alaskans, Sullivan has repeatedly refused to support the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, which would enshrine collective bargaining rights for workers.
Lower Wages for Workers: Dan Sullivan sides with corporate interests and against Alaska workers: he has repeatedly opposed raising the minimum wage for Alaska workers.
Self-Enriching: While serving in the U.S. Senate and enacting this price-hiking, anti-worker agenda, Sullivan himself has reported up to $2 million in stock trades, ballooned his personal wealth, and maintained shady ties to special interests that are working against Alaskans.
