President Joe Biden won't be on the ballot during the upcoming November elections, but his policies and actions over the last 19 months might sway midterm results — particularly in battleground states.

As such, Bloomberg News asserts that Biden's appeal among American union workers has recently come under scrutiny.

"There's a lot of righteous anger on the part of Democratic voters, in particular union voters who tend to vote Democrat," Celine McNicholas, director of policy and government affairs at Washington think tank EPI, told Bloomberg.

In the Detroit, Michigan, suburb of Macomb County, Alyssa Coakley, a 25-year-old Starbucks Corp. employee, who reportedly led a successful effort to unionize her café, said Biden's penchant for helping unions is more show than substance.

Coakley said, "When it comes to labor, it's been a little bit performative. Like, what more are you doing for us?"
