I’m proud to report, that the Loudoun Board of Supervisors tonight affirmed support for collective bargaining and directed staff to draft a local ordinance based on samples from other Virginia jurisdictions and labor unions. We will review in May.
Our union brother Julius is testifying right now to urge the Loudoun BOS to pass meaningful collective bargaining rights that cover pay, benefits + working conditions. The same rights that protect MILLIONS of workers across the US.
Essential county workers deserve nothing less.

I’ve asked county staff to look at using the unappropriated ARPA funds ($8m) to ease the burden of childcare costs for Loudoun families. Childcare is infrastructure. Relying on our education system for childcare is not fair to parents, children, teachers or administrators.
