United Autoworkers Union endorses Biden
The Hill ^ | - 04/21/20 01:26 PM EDT | BY JULIA MANCHESTER

The United Autoworkers Union (AWU) endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden's presidential bid on Tuesday, citing his commitment to putting a check on corporate power.

The union said in a statement to The Associated Press that the U.S. was in need of stability “and more balance to the rights and protections of working Americans.”

“This issue demonstrates the need for presidential leadership to follow the guidance of science and give workers a seat in discussions over their safety and well-being,” the statement said.

Tuesday's endorsement comes after the group threw its support behind Biden's plan to reopen the U.S economy on Monday.

“Former Vice President Biden’s plan relies on experts and science-based factors, acknowledges the need for adequate testing and oversight of safety in reopening workplaces, and is devoid of partisan acrimony," UAW President Rory Gamble said in a statement.

Because what is better for American autoworkers than a candidate that supports moving manufacturing to China?

Is that Jill Biden at the lower left in that photo?

If so, she sure doesn’t look enthused.

while the union members endorse President Trump. So whose endorsement really matters? If you answered the union, you flunked.

How can they vote for someone who can’t even make a sentence?

I spoke to someone the other day who said they were considering voting for him, and asked them that same question. They said they were depending on the VP pick.

This is especially worrisome because if for any reason Biden wins (which I highly doubt) is later removed, the VP will take over. Guess who will fill the VP spot? Pelosi.

So the union bosses are for Biden. Okay. But how the rank-and-file will vote - that might be a different story.

Side note: I’ve belonged to unions most of my working career. I have never once had a say in who my union endorsed. Never once. It was always decided by some damn “executive committee” behind closed doors.

Biting the hand that feeds them.

However, I have a strong feeling that the rank and file is not on the same page as their union bosses.

Looks like they don’t want to go back to work. guess that the Union is taking care of them. Wonder what happens when the money runs out.

Bidens plan to reopen the economy sounds like a plan to keep it shut down

(Of course, Biden didnt write that plan)

[[[I spoke to someone the other day who said they were considering voting for him, and asked them that same question. They said they were depending on the VP pick.]]]

This is exactly how people are going to couch their vote. the VP pick is running for president on the Democrat side.
