WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Joe Biden was glad to see that the voices of Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:) workers were heard, the White House said on Friday, after warehouse workers in New York City voted to form the first-ever union at the second-largest U.S. private employer.

Biden believes “firmly every worker in every state should have a free and fair choice to join a union,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters. Amazon workers in Staten Island “made their choice to organize a grassroots union bargain for better jobs and a better life.”
