  • Jim Webb spoke at the Iowa Federation of Labor Presidential Forum on August 6, 2015, where he showed his support for organized labor and existing laws regulating unions. “The labor movement is not your enemy. It is the best friend you have,” Webb said.[1]
  • Webb co-sponsored S 3453 - Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2012, which proposed amending "the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (FLSA) to increase the federal minimum wage."[2]
  • Webb co-sponsored S 1041 - Employee Free Choice Act of 2007, which proposed amending "the National Labor Relations Act to require the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to certify a bargaining representative without directing an election if a majority of the bargaining unit employees have authorized designation of the representative (card-check) and there is no other individual or labor organization currently certified or recognized as the exclusive representative of any of the employees in the unit."[3]
