The situation, which dates back 15 years, could be remedied by the Biden administration, which has vowed to make the federal government a ‘model employer.’
President Joe Biden prides himself on being the most pro-union president in history. He has called out unionizing campaigns from the podium, and met with Amazon and Starbucks organizers in the White House. Biden has sought to make the federal government a “model employer.” A report from a White House task force on worker organizing and empowerment speaks to this, vowing to “provide greater access and information to unions seeking to represent and build membership among the federal workforce.”
