The IBEW has many reasons for optimism as the country has elected on of the most pro-union presidents in history - one who seeks the counsel of the IBEW. President Biden has made one of his highest priorities the swift and capable distribution of the coronavirus vaccines, which will finally allow America to get back on its feet. Today, Congress is tipping - though just barely - toward working families and the issues Americans are so desperate to address.Below is a newsletter that details President Biden's efforts to assist working families and IBEW members. Specifically, in his first two weeks, he has nominated union member Marty Walsh as labor secretary; executed Day 1 executive orders to affirm that federal workers' rights should be respected; and at the IBEW'S suggestion, created and filled a position at the U.S. Department of Labor with an IBEW member.
