ICYMI: Acting Labor Secretary Julie Su: "NEVER before has a President wielded the power of his office so unapologetically on the side of working people."

This week, President Biden was inducted into the U.S. Department of Labor's Hall of Honor. President Biden is proud to be the most pro-union and pro-worker president in history. Over the past four years, President Biden demonstrated his commitment to working people daily by taking bold actions to protect American workers.

In an interview with MSNBC's This Weekend, Acting Secretary Julie Su described why American workers should feel confident in their collective bargaining power and how President Biden took historic steps to stand up for the working class:

MSNBC This Weekend: Acting Secretary Julie Su discusses President Biden's economic record

ACTING SECRETARY SU: Never before has a president wielded the power of his office so unapologetically on the side of working people...He has made very clear -- he was the first sitting president to walk a picket line, throwing the weight of the presidency behind labor's oldest and most fundamental exercise of power and resistance. He made very clear from the beginning we were going to enforce labor laws and as a result we put over a billion dollars in the pockets of workers, money they earned.

You mentioned pensions, when workers worked their whole lives for retirement they should get to rely on that retirement. He also said very clearly when we put out federal dollars, they're not going to be blank checks. We're going to make sure we're not just repairing roads and replacing pipes and building factories but building lives ensuring the jobs create ready good jobs.

Presidents often measure their success by the number of jobs they create and on that measure President Biden has been wildly successful, especially given what he inherited. But the idea that the jobs have to be good jobs, family sustaining jobs, union jobs, is something that he has shown is possible and I think that has just shifted the playbook fundamentally. He will be in the hall where his story will continue to be told alongside those very workers he has advocated for his entire career.
