The union says Biden has committed to reining in corporate power over workers, encouraging collective bargaining, and making sure workers get the pay, benefits and protections they deserve. Biden also has committed to expand access to affordable health care, the union said.

“This issue demonstrates the need for presidential leadership to follow the guidance of science and give workers a seat in discussions over their safety and well-being,” the union’s statement said.
This is what a successful presidency looks like:
• Our dependence on foreign oil is at a 20-year low — and declining

• Domestic auto production is at a 12-year high
• Health insurance costs are increasing at the slowest rate since the 1960s
