Barb Kucera, editor of Workday Minnesota, describes the second meeting of Vice President Joe Biden’s Middle Class Task Force at a clean fuel manufacturing plant.
Members of Communications Workers of America (CWA) Local 7304 welcomed Vice President Joe Biden and members of the administration’s Middle Class Task Force for a town hall meeting Thursday at their workplace, the New Flyer Bus Co. plant.
New Flyer manufactures buses for some of the largest transit agencies and cities in the United States and Canada and is a leader in the production of hybrid and low-emission vehicles.
Workers at the St. Cloud plant chose union representation through a majority sign-up—the method that would become an option for all workers if Congress passes the Employee Free Choice Act. President Obama said passage of this law, which would make it easier for workers to join unions, is a priority for his presidency.
