UAW ENDORSES JOSEPH BIDEN FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Detroit – The UAW International Board Tuesday announced the influential unions’ endorsement of former Vice President Joe Biden for President of the United States.
“In these dangerous and difficult times, the country needs a president who will demonstrate clear, stable leadership, less partisan acrimony and more balance to the rights and protections of working Americans,” said Rory Gamble, President of the UAW. “UAW Members need a federal government that ensures that members have both a good job to go to, and that they come home to their families at night having earned a fair day’s wage in a safe and secure place.”
Over the last four years, UAW members have seen an assault on worker rights to organize and fair wages, NLRB rules that impede organizing and anti-worker federal appointees.
Biden has committed to a plan that will:
- Reign in the abuse of corporate power over working people and hold corporate executives personally accountable for violations of labor laws.
- Encourage and incentivize unionization and collective bargaining; and
- Ensure that workers are treated with dignity and receive the pay, benefits and workplace protections they deserve.
- Ensure we expand access to affordable quality health care.
