President Biden on Sunday released a video calling on working people across the country to exercise their right to form unions. "Unions put power in the hands of workers," Biden said. "They level the playing field. They give you a stronger voice." The Biden administration's policy, he said, is to support unions organizing and that "The choice to join a union is up to the workers-- full stop...there should be no intimidation, no coercion, no threats, no anti-union propaganda. Every worker," he said, "should have a free and fair choice to join a union." Biden told workers that "It's your right," to decide whether to join a union, and "No employer can take that right away. So make your voice heard." Biden highlighted the Amazon workers’ campaign to form a union in Bessemer, Alabama. Comments are closed.
