Texas AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Leonard Aguilar joined the America’s Work Force Union Podcast to discuss Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s ban on vaccine mandates, which directly contradicts President Biden’s executive order.

He also spoke about the record number of people quitting their jobs and various strikes taking place across the nation, and how unions are best positioned to deliver better wages, better benefits and safer work environments.

Lastly, he discussed the Texas AFL-CIO’s $63 million rehabilitation of the historic Granada Homes senior apartment tower to help deliver affordable housing to San Antonio.
