    Erik Loomis Retweeted President Biden

    This is arguably the most pro-union public statement by a president in support of unions in the entirety of American history.https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/1366191901196644354 …

    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
