White House workers' task force releases pro-union recommendations in new report
CNN
The White House workers' task force, which is chaired by Vice President Kamala Harris, publicly released a report Monday that offers nearly 70 recommendations to promote pro-union policies and practices in the federal government.
The release of the report from the White House Task Force on Worker Organizing and Empowerment comes months after it was delivered to President Joe Biden in late October, a White House official told CNN, and the President has accepted the recommendations.
"As the President has said, 'unions built the middle class.' They 'lift up workers, both union and non-union.' At its core, it is our administration's belief that unions benefit all of us," the official said in a statement. "The Biden-Harris Administration believes that increasing worker organizing and empowerment is critical to growing the middle class, building an economy that puts workers first, and strengthening our democracy."
