If he can pressure Congress now into funding the fight against illegal union busting, he can take an important step toward repairing that damage.

President Biden recently signed a bill forcing rail unions into accepting a contract many of them had rejected. That complicates his promise to be “the most pro-union president” in U.S. history.”

But if he can pressure Congress now into funding the fight against illegal union busting, he can take an important step toward repairing that damage.
After all, workers across the country and across industries—from Amazon warehouses in New York to Starbucks stores in Arizona and video game companies in California—are exercising their legal right to unionize and bargaining to make their jobs and lives better.
Union election filings increased 57 percent over the first six months of this fiscal year. If current trends continue, 2022 is slated to be a landmark year for organized labor.
In an age of increasing inequality, rising costs of living, and billionaire bosses run amok, workers need the power that comes with collective bargaining more than ever. But all too often, corporations are squashing that right in open defiance of the law.
