'President Biden is right. Let's get every Amazon worker in a union.' BernieSanders
Sen. Bernie Sanders and others applauded the president's statement of support for Amazon workers, but the White House quickly worked to temper Biden's comments.Sen. Bernie Sanders and other progressives on Wednesday applauded President Joe Biden's words of support for Amazon workers—and rejected the White House's attempt to temper the president's statement, calling on the administration to proudly and unequivocally align itself with pro-worker efforts.
"Unions are about providing dignity and respect. That's why I created the White House task force to make sure the choice belongs to workers alone," Biden said before smiling and adding."And by the way, Amazon, here we come. Watch. Watch." Biden's comments came less than a week after Amazon employees at Staten Island, New York's JFK8 fulfillment center voted by a wide margin to form a labor union—without the support of an established union and after facing aggressive anti-labor tactics by the company.
"President Biden is right," said Sanders after the president's speech."Let's get every Amazon worker in a union."
