Biden shows support for unions after Amazon warehouse workers’ vote

• Biden called on Congress to pass the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act

President Joe Biden expressed his support for organized labor on Wednesday by hailing the victory of union backers at Amazon.

Biden spoke at the national conference of North America’s Building Trades Unions. “The choice to join a union belongs to workers alone. By the way, Amazon, here we come. Watch,” he said.

Biden’s remark comes after workers at an Amazon warehouse on New York’s Staten Island voted to join the Amazon Labor Union. The Union is a grassroots organization made up of current and former company employees.
