Biden backs 'vitally important' union drive at Amazon warehouse in Alabama

preview

President Joe Biden on Sunday expressed support for workers organizing a union vote at an Amazon.com Inc. warehouse in Alabama. Without specifically naming Amazon, Biden said in a video posted on Twitter on Sunday night that the organization effort “is vitally important” and urged workers to “make your voice heard.”“Let me be really clear: It’s not&nbsp;up to&nbsp;me to decide whether anyone should join a union,” Biden said. “But let me be even more clear: It’s not&nbsp;up to&nbsp;an employer to decide that either. The choice to join a union is&nbsp;up to&nbsp;the workers — full stop, full stop.” Nearly 6,000 workers at Amazon’sfacility in Bessemer, Ala., started voting on whether to unionize earlier this month. It’s the first major union drive at an Amazon facility since 2014. Ballots must be submitted to the National Labor Relations Board by March 29. Stuart Applebaum, president of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, thanked Biden in Sunday night “for sending a clear message of support for the Amazon Union workers in Alabama seeking to bring the first union to an Amazon warehouse.”President Joe Biden said in a statement Tuesday that the August data for consumer prices "show more progress in bringing global inflation down in the U.S. economy. Overall, prices have been essentially flat in our country these last two months: that is welcome news for American families, with more work still to do." He said it "will take more time and resolve to bring inflation down, which is why we passed the Inflation Reduction Act to lower the cost of healthcare, prescription drugs and energy."
