AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler today issued the following statement about the Biden–Harris administration’s new executive order to promote good union jobs:
This executive order continues the Biden–Harris record as the most pro-worker administration in American history, as President Biden and Vice President Harris continue to fight to make sure that investments in our country create good-paying union jobs with benefits that support our families and give us a path to the middle class.
By encouraging and supporting project labor agreements, neutrality and community benefits agreements, collective bargaining rights, and prevailing wage protections, the Biden–Harris administration is making sure that working people are fairly paid and have a safe workplace and the free and fair opportunity to join a union.
Union labor is already building the industries of the future. With this Biden–Harris executive order, government agencies can make sure federal investments in everything from clean energy to semiconductors come with high labor standards for the benefit of workers and taxpayers alike.
