WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW), which represents 1.2 million essential workers in grocery, meatpacking, food processing, retail, and other essential industries, released a statement reaffirming the union’s support for President Biden’s reelection campaign.
UFCW International President Marc Perrone released the following statement:
“Over a year ago, the UFCW International Executive Board made the decision to endorse President Biden’s reelection bid. We did this because the president has been one of the most pro-union presidents in modern America’s history. The impact his administration has had in uplifting our country’s essential workers, especially throughout the pandemic, cannot be understated. President Biden stood with us on picket lines, organizing campaigns and on behalf of workers throughout this country.
“President Biden is the nominee of the Democratic Party and the only pro-labor candidate in this race, and we strongly support his candidacy over former President Trump.”
