Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2006 after serving 16 years in the House of Representatives. Sanders ran to become the Democratic Party presidential nominee in both 2016 and 2020 and remains the longest-serving independent member of Congress in American history.

Trump's Labor Secretary nominee Lori Chavez-DeRemer has been supportive of the PRO Act, which would protect a worker's right to join a union and bargain for better pay, benefits, and working conditions. She is right. Workers must have the right to join a union without illegal interference by their bosses.
