In Youngstown, Sherrod Brown Discusses Rigged System With Schwebel’s Workers

COLUMBUS, OH – Today in Youngstown, Sherrod Brown joined employees of Schwebel’s Baking Company to call out the rigged system that is responsible for taking away Ohioans’ jobs. Sherrod will fight to take on the rigged system, protect Ohioans’ jobs, and lower costs for working families. 

“Teamsters Local 377 and Bakers Local 19 workers in the Mahoning Valley deserve better. Schwebel’s decision threatens Ohioans’ jobs and livelihoods at a time when costs are spiraling out of control,” said Sherrod Brown. “The system is clearly rigged: CEOs make 300 times more than the average worker, all while Ohioans are being crushed by the rising cost of groceries, gas, and health care. Working families deserve a leader who will put them first – not billionaires and corporate interests.”

• As Husted actively makes life harder for Ohio families, he says that struggling Ohioans aren’t “experienced at navigating the real world,” that they should  “earn more” money, and called their work ethic “broken.” 
• Jon Husted has voted 11 times to support the reckless war in Iran as gas and grocery prices soar, leaving hardworking families to foot the bill. 
• In the Senate, Husted has voted nine times to increase health care premiums on Ohio families — all to help pay for the largest tax cut for billionaires in history. 
• As Ohio small businesses face skyrocketing costs, Jon Husted voted three times against reigning in reckless tariffs saying “you don’t hear from the ones that love it.”
  • After the Supreme Court ruled some tariffs unconstitutional, Husted said tariff refunds should not go back to Ohioans who paid it.
