WASHINGTON (AP) — With labor turmoil roiling industries from coast to
coast, President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders met with organizers at
the White House on Monday to talk about ways to boost union membership.
The organizers represent industries and workplaces that have not
traditionally been represented by unions, such as Starbucks coffee shops
and video game companies.
Sanders, an independent from Vermont, said outside the White House that
more people are “standing up and saying it is important for us to have a union so we can earn better wages, better working conditions, better
pensions and dignity on the job.”
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the president
believes that “worker power is essential for growing the economy from the middle out and the bottom up.”
