Director’s Corner: President Biden Is Pro-Worker and Pro-Union

By Brian Weeks, Political Director ·

AFSCME endorsed Joe Biden because his number one priority is fighting for working people and unions. He respects and cares about working people. And he’s delivering for us.

He delivered the American Rescue Plan that saved tens of thousands of public service jobs and is funding better contracts for AFSCME members.

He was the first president to stand on the picket line because he understands that working people are the engine of our country and they deserve fair wages, good benefits, job security and safe working conditions that our contracts guarantee.

And that when unions are strong, all workers benefit.

That’s why AFSCME and almost every other major union endorsed him.

At local union meetings, worksites and elsewhere around the country, AFSCME members are also talking about how President Biden is delivering for working people – including sanitation workers, school bus drivers, 911 operators, and others. Flyers with information by job sector is available here.
