Jobs and Economic Security
Too many people in the Town of Chatham continue to live paycheck to paycheck and often rely on two or more jobs to make ends meet. Options for employment are constrained by limited economic development in the town. The Chatham Democrats support federal, state, local government and private sector efforts to create and/or stimulate new jobs in infrastructure, health, education, training and new industries, including green/energy-related businesses. We support higher wages, workplace protections, and policies to balance work and family life. The Chatham Democrats believe that all workers deserve a livable wage, family leave, fair labor standards, safe and harassment-free work environments, equal protection under the law and the right to organize into unions and collectively bargain.
