President Biden urges workers to vote in the Amazon union drive in Alabama. He doesn’t outright endorse unionization, saying it’s up to the workers, but makes clear he’s supportive and that the company shouldn’t meddle. https://t.co/FgC8dQMAxt

I’ve never seen a president do this before. This is extraordinary. https://t.co/ikFiirZ7ZS

You don’t have to like him but as a matter of plain fact Biden is now *by far* the most pro-union president of my lifetime and the labor movement better get every last thing it can get before 2022. https://t.co/9ZfmZiNwfU

Have seen some griping that Biden’s language wasn’t more aggressive in urging workers to vote for the union or in attacking Amazon. But there are also a lot of leaders from labor and the left lauding this bc it’s further than his predecessors have gone. https://t.co/FgC8dQuZ8T

Union @RWDSU’s @sappelbaum had called on the admin to weigh in and thanks Biden for “sending a clear message of support” for the Amazon union drive in Alabama. https://t.co/FgC8dQuZ8T

When in pro union video Biden attacks anti-union intimidation and propaganda from employers he is subverting/contradicting the standard operating procedure of thousands of corporations backstopped by union hostile courts and law firms. https://t.co/WjqN5TVaS3

"We haven't had this aggressive and positive of a statement from a president of the United States on behalf of workers in decade," says @fshakir, former Sanders aide and founder of @MorePerfectUS, -- which released series of videos on Amazon unionization effort https://t.co/bIHOEmRyCo

Workers in Alabama – and all across America – are voting on whether to organize a union in their workplace. It’s a vitally important choice – one that should be made without intimidation or threats by employers.

Every worker should have a free and fair choice to join a union. pic.twitter.com/2lzbyyii1g

“There should be no intimidation, no coercion, no threats, no anti-union propaganda,” @JoeBiden says in video message about Amazon employees' ongoing vote on unionization in Alabama https://t.co/M2bG1wpcwr "every worker should have a free and fair choice to join a union" @jeneps https://t.co/Y2hginfrQb

If Amazon workers in Alabama – a strong anti-union state – vote to form a union, it'll be a shot heard around the world. If they can negotiate higher wages & better working conditions in the South, it'll benefit every worker in America. Thank you, Mr. President, for speaking out. https://t.co/3oIjfyTivB

This is pretty remarkable. I don't ever remember a president doing anything like this. Thank you. https://t.co/83O8WSpeG9

Stirring pro-trade union speech from @POTUS as workers in Alabama suffer intimidation from Amazon. I wish a British PM would be so forthright https://t.co/Hw3jiJHshN

“Let me be really clear: It’s not up to me to decide whether anyone should join a union. But let me be even more clear: It’s not up to an employer to decide that either. The choice to join a union is up to the workers.”
