For me number one would be to let trade unions do their job without restriction. In the US I think that would mean abolishing so-called 'right to work' laws as a priority.

Everything regarding social democracy as a political movement.

As described on wikipedia:

"Social democracy is a political, social and economic philosophy within socialism. As a policy regime, it is described by academics as advocating economic and social interventions to promote social justice within the framework of a liberal-democratic polity and a capitalist-oriented mixed economy."

Social democracy is often confused with democratic socialism which is it's own thing.
