Biden tours plant, says he’s ‘pro-union’

-

President Joe Biden reminded Americans he’s a “pro-union” president Tuesday as he toured a technology plant to highlight a $300 million expansion, just a day after he sided with business leaders in asking Congress to pass legislatio­n to stave off a crippling rail strike.

The South Korean company SK Siltron is expected to quadruple its production in the coming years at the plant. It’s the latest in a series of massive foreign investment­s in the U.S. manufactur­ing and technology sectors trumpeted by Biden amid a push by his administra­tion to on-shore production of key components and products.

Biden said he’d talked with SK leaders about how American workers were “the best workers in the world, you’re the most qualified workers in the world.”
