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.

    I need to see Biden passing 15$ mjnimum wage

    Biden cannot pass anything. Only congress can. Obviously if such a thing passed congress Biden would gladly sign it. But since the GOP controls congress, it cannot happen until Dems win it back. That’s basic politics.

      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
