Labor Day is about celebrating the working class men and women whose grit and resilience built our country and made our economic progress possible. They’ve raised their voices, advocated for better working conditions, and kept our country going.
The middle class built America, and unions built the middle class.
On Labor Day, we recognize the fight unions and workers across the country have endured to keep our economy moving and make our nation strong. https://t.co/thDm0vSp0g

How can Biden support workers without Congress this Labor Day?
1. Make the government only contract with unionized companies
