The Blue Collar Caucus was a United States Democratic Party congressional caucus that advocates for labor and working class priorities. It was founded in 2016 to focus the Democratic Party on blue-collar issues.[3] The caucus was considered economically progressive.[7] According to the founders of the Blue Collar Caucus, its goal was to re-orient the Democratic Party to focus on issues such as trade unions, wage stagnation, offshoring and job insecurity, especially in case of manufacturing and building workers.[8]
