Pres. Biden throws his support behind labor unions in a new video that comes right as Amazon workers in Alabama are voting on whether to unionize.

"Unions put power in the hands of workers, they level the playing field, they give you a stronger voice, for your health, your safety, higher wages protections from racial discrimination and sexual harassment," Biden said."Unions lift up workers, both union and non-union, but especially Black and Brown workers.""So let me be really clear, it's not up to me to decide whether anyone should join a union," the president said.

Biden's a feeble old man that speaks out of both sides of his mouth.

Moron! We need a Labor Union today like we need a sore thumb!

See you in 4 years President Trump! It will be great to have him back in office!!!

You know who doesn't have labor unions sniffing up their employees? Costco. Treat your employees correctly, unions can't approach them.

Lol I remember him jaming his finger in a union mans chest

...and the robots will start arriving before the ink dries.

Surprised at his commitment. FDR encouraged workers to join a union and made public comment like this frequently.

This is a mistake.

If ALL workers making below $24 an hour just stopped working for an hour or a day, how quickly would Congress get their shit together? Women in Iceland did this, and they suddenly got equal pay. It works.

Biden says workers in Alabama have a right to vote on unionPresident Joe Biden said workers in Alabama and across the country have the right to join a union without intimidation from their companies. In a two-minute video posted to Twitter, Biden didn’t mention Amazon by name, or say how workers should vote, but he stressed that they should be given a choice. At the Bessemer, Alabama, warehouse, Amazon has been holding classes, telling workers that the union will take their money for dues without any benefit. Very fascist. When Adolph Hitler came to power in 1933 he immediately banned all other political parties and unions, as did his Russian counterpart Joseph Stalin. Actually as president it’s none of his damn business and he shouldn’t be involved in whether the workers vote or not vote for the union I realize the unions gave him millions of dollars to get his support but this is just ridiculous They have that right, the employer has rights as well. They can vote to unionize, but the employer can say no, and shut his facility down if he doesn't want the union. Also, Alabama is RTW, so they cannot force every employee to join.
