Many Americans who meet with Biden have something in common: union memberships

Many of the everyday Americans who have met with President Joe Biden in his first two months in office have something in common: labor union membership.
The mutual affection between the president and organized labor is no secret; many major unions early on endorsed him in his 2020 bid for the White House. "When labor does well, the whole country does well," Mr. Biden was fond of saying on the campaign trail. And now that he's in office, the White House has been continuing a form of outreach that his campaign and transition team employed when they sought to humanize him or personalize a complex issue: they recruit a small group of people — usually no more than three or four — to speak with the president and share their personal stories.More Related News
