President Biden made an unprecedented stop Tuesday, joining the picket line with striking autoworkers, marking the first time a sitting president has done so.
The president stood in solidarity with United Auto Workers (UAW) at a General Motors facility in Van Buren Township, Michigan and spoke to the group via bullhorn alongside union president Shawn Fain.
“Wall Street didn’t build the country. The middle class built the country. Unions built the middle class,” Biden told the striking workers wearing baseball cap and quarter-zip sweater.
“Let’s keep going, you deserve what you’ve earned and you deserve a hell of a lot more than what you’re getting paid now,” Biden said to cheers from the group.
He stood with workers at UAW Local 174 wearing red shirts and holding signs that read “UAW on strike” and “saving the American dream.”….
Biden gets MORE Union support….
The United Farm Workers on Tuesday announced its endorsement of President Joe Biden for reelection, saying that the Democrat has proven throughout his life to be an “authentic champion” for workers and their families, regardless of race or national origin.
The farm workers’ union was co-founded by Cesar Chavez, the late grandfather of Julie Chavez Rodriguez, who Biden named as his 2024 campaign manager. Her father, Arturo Rodriquez, is a past UFW president.
Julie Rodriguez and “special guests” were expected to formally announce the endorsement later Tuesday at Muranaka Farms in the city of Moorpark in southern California.
