The United Farm Workers labor union is endorsing President Joe Biden for reelection in 2024. The union on Tuesday said the Democratic president has proven throughout his life that he's an “authentic champion” for workers and their families, regardless of race or national origin.

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.

      My first claim is: “The unions wanted 15 days of sick leave, they would have been happy with the 7 most Democrats tried to give them, and Biden got them 4.”

      Is the masterstroke contradiction you’re speaking to that some actually got 5? Or that they can give up their vacation days to be sick? Because that’s not a paid sick day.

      This all continues to ignore that other people giving what they think you deserve IS NOT WORKER POWER.

        And shows Biden is still fighting for them. While you are sitting idly by condemning the victory. See Four is greater than none. This is what is called progress by folks that are not so pure as you and thus understand you must lead and accept compromise rather than stamp your feet and whine while accomplishing nothing.

        Getting something is 100% the actual goal and your childish tantrum would achieve nothing. There simply were not the Votes for anything else.

          He literally didn’t need votes at all to do the right thing and let workers retain their rights.

            He needed the Votes to avoid condemning a strike which is what would have been the result of not getting involved when the Economy was in need and the idiot Railways were in no way going to negotiate without his direct intervention.
