Well, this is unexpected:
President Biden gave Amazon warehouse staff in Alabama fighting to join a union their biggest support yet, tweeting a video Sunday night saying workers should be able to make their decision in the election without pressure from the company.
More than 5,800 workers at an Amazon warehouse in Bessemer, Ala., are in the middle of a seven-week voting period to determine whether they want the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union to represent them. Although Biden didn’t name Amazon in the video, he made it clear that he supports the union drive.
“Today and over the next few days and weeks, workers in Alabama, and all across America, are voting on whether to organize a union in their workplace,” Biden said.
Nominal, of course, but not the course of action I'd have expected from this corporatist.
I'm reminded again of teh quote about how its better to pick the administration that you would rather fight rather than the one that would be ideal. Since its inevitably going to be somewhat different to your idea of how things should be done and opinions will differ between you as member of the public/radical and member of the administration/gatekeeper. Also that there will be protocols and red tape that one would have to negotiate to get things done and not added to where possible. ( actually now seeing how that gets confused into somebody from outside DC seeing all legislation as being discardable arbitrarily and contrasts with some red tape actually protecting elements of society that need protecting, but probably need better worded legislation.)
