30 things Biden has done to help workers
From legislation to executive actions and appointments, Biden is getting things done for union workers

A little over a year ago, President Joe Biden won a stunning election victory, upsetting Trump and making him the first president to lose reelection in 28 years. At the time, President Biden said that he would be the most pro-union president in the history of the country.
With the end of the year fast approaching, UCOMM has decided to take a look at whether President Biden has been able to deliver on that promise. Some of these were included in UCOMM’s previous piece on what was accomplished after 100 days, but thankfully since then, many things have changed.
HIRINGS AND FIRINGS
Most of these were pretty easy, low-hanging fruit for Biden since he controls who he can appoint and fire. In fact, some, like the firing of Peter Robb, took place only hours after he took office.
1) Fired Peter Robb – Robb was the anti-union general counsel that Trump appointed to lead the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Traditionally the general counsel is tasked with prosecuting cases against bad employers, but Robb used the position to go after unions and union-friendly rules. Robb was fired within hours of Biden taking office.
