Pro-Union, Pro-Worker Tweets
From Tuesday…
Today we learned that the number of workers filing for union representation has doubled since I took office – the first administration in 5 decades to see an increase in union petitions.
— President Biden (@POTUS) October 15, 2024
I promised to be the most pro-union, pro-worker president in history. I kept that promise.
After the previous administration sided with big corporations to undermine workers, my Administration extended overtime pay protections to millions, held employers accountable for union-busting, and advocated for the PRO Act.
— President Biden (@POTUS) October 15, 2024
When unions do well, our entire economy benefits.

Statement from President Joe Biden on Increased Worker Organizing
When I took office, I promised to be the most pro-union, pro-worker President in history. I have kept that promise. Today’s data from the National Labor Relations Board shows the number of workers filing for union representation has doubled since the start of my Administration—the first administration in five decades to have an increase in union petitions. I am proud to have secured the NLRB’s first budget increase in almost a decade, and I will continue fighting for more funding so the Board can empower workers on the job.
After the previous administration sided with big corporations to undermine workers—from blocking overtime pay protections to making it harder to organize—my Administration has supported workers, including restoring and extending overtime pay protections to 4 million workers, holding employers accountable for union-busting, and calling on Congress to pass the PRO Act. Because when unions do well, all workers do well and the entire economy benefits.
