Sherrod Brown launches Dignity of Work Institute in Ohio

Former U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown launched the Dignity of Work Institute, a nonpartisan organization aimed at addressing the needs and challenges faced by American workers. The institute will conduct research through polls and interviews to better understand the economic realities for workers, highlighting issues such as stagnant wages and rising living costs. Brown emphasized that both political parties have neglected the working class, stating that many workers are juggling multiple jobs just to make ends meet. The institute's initial findings reveal widespread dissatisfaction with the current economic system, and a strong desire for significant changes that prioritize worker welfare. Despite speculation about a potential political comeback, Brown clarified that the institute is not a stepping stone for future campaigns. The organization will be based in Columbus, Ohio, reflecting Brown's commitment to Midwestern issues rather than coastal concerns.
