I grew up in a family whose membership in Labor Unions put the food on our table. My Dad, Mom, Maternal Grandmother and extended family were active, card carrying Union members. They belonged to various unions as workers at The Louisville Water company, General Electric, Yellowstone Distillery, L&N Railroad, International Harvester. They never forgot where they came from…

If you’re enjoying a paid holiday today, thank the unions. They negotiated those holidays, healthcare, pension, sick days, better wages and safer workplaces. Their collective bargaining has benefited all workers!

I can see my Dad now around our kitchen table with his union buddies after the union meeting.

I had the in honor of speaking at a UAW retiree event yesterday and connecting with hundreds of retired workers.

I grew up in a union household, and know the impact unions have had on my life. They organize for the wellbeing of their members, but their effort makes our entire community stronger and more prosperous. I salute you!

Very saddened to learn of the passing of Judge Martin Johnstone, he was a legend on the bench. May his memory be a blessing to all who knew him.

Deeply saddened to learn of the passing of the Hon. Martin E. Johnstone, former Kentucky Supreme Court Justice and dear friend for more than four decades. During his remarkable judicial career, the Louisville native served at every level of the Commonwealth’s court system, leaving an enduring legacy of integrity, public service and commitment to justice. My heartfelt condolences are with his family, friends and all whose lives he touched.
