Thank you to President Biden

We wish to thank Mr. Biden for his service to our country. He is considered to be the most labor friendly president we have ever had. He walked picket lines,  enacted legislation to create high quality jobs and support workplace equity, appointed labor advocates to the NRLB and the Labor Department are just some of his actions.
