So let me be really clear. It's not up to me to decide whether anyone should join a union.

But let me be even more clear. It's not up to an employer to decide that either.

The choice to join a union is up to the workers. Full stop. Full stop.

That was President Biden offering a powerful pro-union message on Twitter,

touted by some as the strongest endorsement of labor unions ever from an American president.

And although Biden didn't mention it, there was no secret about why he's doing it now.

It comes as one union is locked in a bitter battle with Amazon to organize workers in a Bessamer Alabama facility,

a contest that is drawing national attention.

No company has profited more from the COVID pandemic than Amazon. Its revenues and profits have soared,

as has the mega wealth of billionaire founder Jeff Bezos.

But while Amazon executives mostly work from home on their laptops,

the employees who fill the orders and send the goods we all buy from the company work in crowded warehouses,

risking their health and safety.

We'll talk to the president of the union,

sinking to organize the Bessamer facility, Stuart Applebaum,

and then we'll talk to a Democratic congressman from Michigan who was backing the campaign,

Andy Levin on this episode of Skull Duggery.

I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of president of the United States.

And will to the best of my building.

Reserve, protect and defend.

Constitution of the United States. So help me God.

So help me God.
