After Vice President Harris\u2019s keynote speech at the Service Employees International Union convention, <\/em>DNC Deputy National Press Secretary Nina Ranseses released the following statement: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPresident Biden has delivered on his promise to be the most pro-union president in American history \u2014 standing alongside workers in ways no president has \u2014 as unions win historic contracts and at a moment when support for labor is at its highest level in more than half a century. Meanwhile, Trump and MAGA Republicans are scabbing for union-busting CEOs and pushing for legislation that prioritizes billionaires and corporations over unions and workers. Trump stocked his administration with anti-union officials who rolled back workplace protections, shut down factories, and shipped jobs overseas \u2013 and his \u2018Project 25\u2019 plans are stacked with even more disastrous economic plans to bankroll Republicans\u2019 billionaire donors at the expense of hardworking Americans. Let\u2019s face it: President Biden is delivering on being the most pro-union president in United States history, and Donald Trump is a scab that stands alongside billionaires.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unions across America are proudly endorsing President Biden and Vice President Harris this election<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NBC<\/a>: \u201cSEIU\u2019s April Verrett said that while some working class voters may see an appeal in Trump, the union will \u201chave to help people cut through the noise and get to the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe massive union, which represents nearly 2 million workers in health care, property service and the government, has pledged to spend $200 million to help President Joe Biden and Democrats in key battlegrounds this year, an effort that will begin in earnest next week.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington Post<\/a>: \u201cBiden endorsed by United Auto Workers, shoring up union vote in automaking swing states\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hill<\/a>: \u201cAFL-CIO backs Biden in early 2024 endorsement\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Biden-Harris administration has been the most pro-union in American history \u2013 with Biden becoming the first President to join workers on a picket line and standing up to union-busters and billionaires who rip off working Americans.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NBC News<\/a>: \u201c<\/strong>President Joe Biden made history Tuesday when he visited a picket line in Michigan in a show of loyalty to autoworkers who are striking for higher wages and cost-of-living increases.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Center For American Progress<\/a>: \u201cThe Biden administration is advancing reforms to boost American workers\u2019 earnings and wealth, empower them to unionize and bargain, and hold lawbreaking corporations accountable. By focusing on workers in the service sector as well as those in construction and manufacturing, the administration is helping reach working-class Americans, narrow racial pay gaps, and strengthen the middle class.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Associated Press<\/a>: \u201cDespite concerns that a prolonged strike could undermine the economy, particularly in the crucial battleground state of Michigan, the Democratic president encouraged workers to keep fighting for better wages at a time when car companies have seen rising profits.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

IBEW Media Center<\/a>: \u201cWe\u2019re thankful that the Biden administration played the long game on sick days and stuck with us for months after Congress imposed our updated national agreement,\u201d Russo said. \u201cWithout making a big show of it, Joe Biden and members of his administration in the Transportation and Labor departments have been working continuously to get guaranteed paid sick days for all railroad workers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to President Biden, America is seeing a historic manufacturing boom.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
