Fallacy: Joe Biden calls himself the most pro-worker president in history.

Truth:

• If he were truly the most pro-worker president, he wouldn’t be attacking both freelancers and franchisees with the ABC Test in the PRO Act and pending regulations at the USDOL. He protect all people who work, no matter how they earn their living.
• If he were truly the most pro-worker president, he wouldn’t be intent on harming freelancers, our clients, and franchisees at the behest of unions, and he would be hiring more than former union officials in his administration.
• If he were truly the most pro-worker president, he wouldn’t be attacking both franchisees and freelancers. We currently cannot be unionized because we are not W2 employees. The goal of the AFL-CIO, Teamsters, and SEIU and other smaller unions are to gain members currently unavailable to them. (Again, this site is not anti-union. It’s anti-freelance busting. Those who need and want unions should have access to them. Those who don’t, shouldn’t be forced out of our freelancer 1099 income and into W2 work simply to be made unionizable.)
• If he were truly the most pro-worker president, he would not be forcing all workers to fund $86 billion in tax payer dollars to bail out union pensions. According to the New York Times: “The provision does not require the plans to pay back the bailout, freeze accruals or to end the practices that led to their current distress, which means their troubles could recur. Nor does it explain what will happen when the taxpayer money runs out 30 years from now.”
• If he were truly the most pro-worker president, neither he nor the Democrats at large would be the major beneficiary of union lobbyists (PAC money). Money speaks.
