“And under the Biden Administration, that administrative state has imposed the most assertive left-wing social-engineering agenda in the agencies’ history and ratcheted up regulatory costs on small businesses and other productive industry. The agencies’ authorities have been abused by the Left to favor human resources bureaucracies, climate-change activists, and union bosses—all against the interest of American workers.”

Context:
He’s actually arguing here that unionizing hurts American workers, when the exact opposite is true. By “ideological social engineering”, he means DEI initiatives, climate action, or labor-friendly regulations, seeing them as politically driven rather than neutral or beneficial to all.
Berry clearly believes that climate and safety regulations, diversity and inclusion initiatives, and the existence of unions impose too much on businesses, but he’s claiming that these things are bad for workers. This is a spectacular bit of gaslighting.
