11 Mar President Shelton Thanks President Biden for his Unwavering Support of BCTGM Members

On March 5, BCTGM International President Anthony Shelton attended a labor roundtable with President Biden, U.S. Labor Secretary Marty Walsh and more than 30 AFL-CIO affiliated union officers in Wilmington, Delaware.

Biden thanked the labor leaders for their support and outlined the actions his Administration has taken to help union members in his first year in office. Walsh spoke of the need to work collectively to empower American workers and underscored the presidentโ€™s support for strong unions as a key to strengthening the middle class. Walsh is a 30-plus year member of the Laborersโ€™ International union and former head of the Boston Building Trades Council.

The meeting focused on the Administrationโ€™s wide range of accomplishments for workers including the American Rescue Plan, which included provisions to save pensions. President Shelton was able to personally thank Biden for his leadership in saving the pensions of BCTGM current and future retirees.  President Biden ran on a promise to be the most pro-labor president ever. A year into his presidency, he has proven to be true to his word.


No union has benefited from President Bidenโ€™s support for unions and workersโ€™ rights more than the BCTGM.

โ€œPresident Bidenโ€™s historic support of BCTGM members on strike at Kelloggโ€™s came at a critical time. I was honored to have the opportunity to thank him in person,โ€ states Shelton.

President Shelton also was able to thank Secretary Walsh for his visit to Kelloggโ€™s members on strike in Lancaster, Pa.

In addition to President Shelton, the meeting with Biden included AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler and AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Fred Redmond.
