Tourism is Wyoming’s number two economy and it depends heavily on our service industry workers. Standing up for those workers and their right to organize allows that economy to continue to thrive and is also a reflection of Wyoming values which are deeply rooted in the principles of hard work, resilience, and a strong sense of community. Whether in the coal mines, ranches, or small businesses, the people of Wyoming recognize the dedication and sacrifices made by those who contribute to the state's economic prosperity. As a state known for its rugged landscapes and independent spirit, we understand the necessity of prioritizing fair wages, safe working conditions, and the empowerment of workers to organize and advocate for their rights. The Laramie County Democrats stand firmly in support of laborers and their fundamental right to dignified work, fair treatment, and economic security. We are committed to upholding Wyoming's values by championing policies that protect and uplift our hard working labor force, ensuring a more equitable and prosperous future for all.
