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.

    Biden could fight …… for anything.

    They gave up on their “signature issue” of 15$ the fucking first month in office.

    Biden has the bully pulpit free media attention whenever he wants it. He can fight for his agenda.

    But he has no spine and does not fight for anything that his corporate overlords do not approve of.

    Dude is basically Regan after Alzheimer’s

      He literally just joined the UAW on the picket line. There is no point in fighting for a $15 minimum wage if congress will never go for it. And they won’t with its current makeup. It’s a non-started. He’s not stupid and he’s not going to waste his time on fighting for things that won’t happen.

      Anyway, people shouldn’t be fighting for any minimum wage. They should be fighting for a UBI.

          He did an amazing job when Dems had a 1/2 vote margin in the senate. But as long as the GOP controls congress, raising the minimum age is literally an impossibility.

            Fdr fought for social security and Medicare and workers rights…… he called out senators who disagreed with him by name.

            He did not call folks who shut down his policy proposals “my good friends”

            If amazing job means calling senators who voted against your policy platform “my dear friends”, then okay I guess…… he did an amazing job at capitulating without putting up an ounce of fight. He didn’t call out anyone.

            He didn’t actually want the policies he claimed to stand for. He lied to us. He is a corporate neoliberal. He wouldn’t be a democrat if the republicans weren’t actually racist fascist sons of removed. But they all take legal bribes….
