Senator Josh Hawley, a staunch conservative, has been noted for his pro-worker stance and support for American unions, standing out in the Republican Party's recent shift towards workers' issues. Despite criticisms of the party's cultural posturing, Hawley has been praised for his material support for wage-earners, with calls for him to back the PRO Act to align actions with rhetoric. The GOP, often seen as lacking a working-class agenda, has found a figure in Hawley who is making waves with his labor-focused approach, drawing attention from commentators like Laura Ingraham and Batya Ungar-Sargon.
If Laura Ingraham thinks that Josh Hawley's turn to labor has merit (and so does @bungarsargon's writing) she could devote more time on her nightly show to labor issues like the UAW's historic votes this week in Tennessee. https://t.co/HSByzgWyiY
Batya Ungar-Sargon said it well: “Today’s GOP is a ‘working-class party without a working-class agenda.” But one senator is shaking things up and getting noticed. Josh Hawley’s Labor Revolution | Compact https://t.co/OHaalVg1Zq
A year and a half ago I wrote this for @thenation, raising a very simple question--if @HawleyMO means his pro-worker rhetoric, why doesn't he support the PRO Act? https://t.co/fsTwCIZt7Y
The Republican Party’s recent pro-worker turn has too often amounted to little more than cultural posturing. But there are important exceptions to this trend, and few shine as brightly as Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) when it comes to standing up for wage-earners. https://t.co/YTiUZA2Wkl
For Republicans, it isn’t enough to merely make vague pro-worker noises that amount to so much culture-war vibes. They have to stand with workers on material grounds, as Josh @HawleyMO admirably has. https://t.co/YTiUZA2Wkl
Senator Josh Hawley, despite being a staunch conservative, is increasingly a friend to American unions. How did this happen? @SohrabAhmari explores for @compactmag_ https://t.co/c26UvsmKb6
