Urged a no vote on the PRI paper contract on behalf of 10,000 AFL-CIO members, noting incarcerated workers earn $0.25-$0.95/hour with no collective bargaining rights.

With Beyond the Bars, argued PRI's bid is artificially low because incarcerated workers earn 20-95 cents an hour, cannot freely leave, and urged the city to reject the bid as Gainesville and Alachua County did in 2019.
