One defining quality of south-side Milwaukee workers is their work ethic.

Faced with barriers common to all Americans during the Bush years, people in Milwaukee both new and old don’t complain much—they work, they look for work, and never give up the struggle for the dignity that work brings.

Pedro has been honored by the support of organized labor, those allies whose political lives are spent advocating for the working families of Milwaukee, and the working families themselves whom we all cherish as the backbone of our community.

Pedro has just received another honor, the endorsement from Voces de la Frontera’s Action (c4).

Voces de la Frontera Action (c4) is the political arm of the:
Wisconsin nonprofit that educates workers about their employment rights and organizes to protect and improve the quality of life for low-wage and immigrant workers . . . (promoting) grassroots leadership and community and workplace organizing as a strategy to achieve (these) goals.

As we observe Labor Day, recognizing the contributions of working men and women, Pedro stands tall with Voces de la Frontera Action (c4) and other allies in demanding that our labor and our right to organize be protected as rights through which we achieve the quality of life that our families deserve.

From helping to kill a Republican attempt to ban the annual state subsidy for child care services for state workers, blasting the infamous attack at the El Rey grocery store, to working with AFSCME protecting workers singled out for having Latino-sounding names, and leading the fight for Wisconsin to join other states in opposing the harmful and unnecessary REAL ID, Pedro remains a proud and steadfast advocate of Wisconsin workers.
