Biden Supports Alabama Amazon Workers' Union Organizing Efforts



  

In one of the strongest pro-union displays ever from a sitting president, President Joe Biden posted a video showing his support for Amazon workers in Bessamer, Ala., who are organizing to join the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU).

In the video, Biden stressed that the National Labor Relations Act not only protects workers' right to form a union, it encourages it. "It's a vitally important choice," Biden said. "One that should be made without intimidation or threats by employers."
