Part 4/9:
In juxtaposition, President Biden utilized his time at the Department of Labor to assert the tangible impacts of his administration's policies. He discussed landmark legislation signed under his administration, including the Butch Lewis Act aimed at protecting pensions for millions and recovering over $1 billion in wages for workers. In what is arguably a political high-water mark, Biden highlighted a comprehensive and proactive American agenda focused on infrastructural rehabilitation, which notably differs from Trump's tenure when “infrastructure week” seemed often to be an empty slogan devoid of actual progress.
