Biden vows to be the 'most pro-union president' in history

President Joe Biden made clear his aim to be America’s labour president on Wednesday during an address alongside labour leaders including the newly-elected president of the AFL-CIO, the country’s largest union federation. “I intend to be the most pro-union president, leading the most pro-union administration in history,” he asserted. The president, who has frequently touted his own working-class roots, characterised his career as being a product of the labour movement’s support, which he credited with educating him on many issues and informing his many years in Washington.
