David emphasizes the need for changes in federal law to support unionization efforts, highlighting that companies often resist negotiating with newly formed unions.

Additionally, he stresses the importance of broad investment, particularly in basic research and development, which the private sector often neglects due to uncertainty in profitability.In this clip
