Vice President Kamala Harris made a bold promise to “end union busting” during a Labor Day campaign event alongside President Biden, who praised her as having the “moral compass of a saint.”
Speaking to union workers in Pittsburgh, Harris, 59, pledged to pass legislation that would counter state “right to work” laws, ultimately protecting the rights of workers to unionize. She specifically mentioned passing the Protecting the Right to Organize Act to end union busting once and for all.
She also criticized former President Donald Trump for his policies that she believes hinder workers’ rights, such as blocking overtime benefits, opposing minimum wage increases, and appointing anti-union figures to the National Labor Relations Board.
Highlighting the importance of the upcoming election, Harris stressed the need for Pennsylvania workers to support her and Biden, emphasizing that the state’s 19 Electoral College votes could play a crucial role in determining the outcome.
In his remarks, Biden, 81, praised Harris as a “true friend” and the best choice for Pennsylvanians in the upcoming election. He described her as having a strong backbone and a moral character akin to a saint, urging voters to elect her as president.
Following his return from a vacation in California and Delaware, this event marked Biden’s first public appearance and showcased his unwavering support for Harris as his potential successor.
As the campaign heats up and the election draws nearer, Harris and Biden’s promise to support workers’ rights and end union busting stands as a significant commitment to the labor force. Their focus on improving conditions for working Americans resonates with many voters, particularly in battleground states like Pennsylvania.
