we go to hillary vaughn for more.eporter: lauren, it could be harder for some businesses to do business without getting sued by their employees because biden plans to boost union membership includes cracking down on company executives if they interfere with their workers right to organize, holding them financially and even criminally liable as well. biden would also with hold lucrative federal contracts for u.s. companies where workers have a choice to join a union. that includes biden's 2 trillion-dollar plan to build up green energy jobs but right now only 10% of the u.s. workforce is part of a union. biden's campaign credits billions of dollars companies invest in anti-union consultants for what has been a steady decline in union membership. unions spent their own millions lobbying elections to keep their membership or try to boost their membership. biden has plans to help with that. as president. he wants to make the following changes. insure federal contracts only go to federal employers that oppose unions. allow
