Department of Labor welcomes President Biden as newest Hall of Honor inductee [ http://www.dol.gov/newsroom/releases/osec/osec20241216-0 ] 12/16/2024 07:00 AM EST
WASHINGTON – Acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su today honored President Joe Biden by announcing his induction to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Hall of Honor. During an event establishing former Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins’ homestead as a national monument, Acting Secretary Su lauded the nation’s leader for his tireless support of U.S. workers and labor unions before bestowing the department’s high honor on the President. In more than 50 years of public service, President Biden has remained devoted to improving the lives of America’s workers, retirees and their families by championing pro-union policies that strengthen the middle class and build an economy from the middle out and the bottom up. Under his leadership, more than 16 million jobs have been created in America, threatened pensions have been secured for more than 1.2 million workers and retirees and the number of workers seeking to join a union has doubled.“History will record Joe Biden as the most pro-worker, pro-union President this nation has had,” said Acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su. “Leadership matters. And President Biden demonstrated his commitment to working people daily by taking bold actions and daring to fight the big fights. In the last four years, that has meant fighting to increase overtime pay, pushing for a national heat standard, protecting retirees’ pensions and putting more than $1 billion in wages and damages into workers’ pockets, to name a few. But no example says more about who President Biden is than the day he walked the picket line with striking autoworkers, becoming the first sitting president ever to do so. No one believes in worker power more than this President, which is why I am honored and delighted to honor his work within the walls of the Frances Perkins Building, adding his name to the Department of Labor’s Hall of Honor.”President Biden joins Frances Perkins and others in the Hall of Honor, which recognizes individuals and groups whose distinctive contributions in the field of labor have improved working conditions, wages and overall quality of life of working families in the U.S. Established in 1988, the Hall of Honor is located in the north plaza of the Department of Labor’s national headquarters in the Frances Perkins Building at 200 Constitution Ave. NW in Washington. body { font-size: 1em; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; color: #333333; }
