US President Joe Biden signed an executive order Monday establishing the “Task Force on Worker Organizing and Empowerment,” charged with increasing union density and promoting workplace organizing.
The task force will be lead by Vice President Kamala Harris, who has advocated for public sector unions and co-sponsored legislation supporting the right to organize while serving in the US Senate. Other cabinet members, such as the Secretary of Labor, are also members of the task force.
The order comes at a time of union membership in steep decline. Over the past 50 years, union membership among workers has fallen from 33 percent to 10 percent. Some contend this trend has lead to growing income inequality and a shrinking middle class. Conversely, earlier this month, Amazon employees in Alabama rejected unionization efforts, expressing concern about the cost of union dues and remaining unconvinced of the added benefits of union protection.
