Late yesterday on 24 January 2024, the UAW announced its endorsement of Joe Biden for President of the United States. With hundreds of UAW members, leaders, and activists gathered at the union’s national Community Action Program (CAP) conference, UAW President Shawn Fain spoke to the issues facing the working class, and the strategic choice ahead in the 2024 presidential election.
“This November, we can stand up and elect someone who wants to stand with us and support our cause. Or we can elect someone who will divide us and fight us every step of the way,” said UAW President Shawn Fain. “That’s what this choice is about. The question is, who do we want in that office to give us the best shot of winning? Of organizing. Of negotiating strong contracts. Of uniting the working class and winning our fair share once again, as our union has done so many times in our nation’s history. We need to know who’s going to sit in the most powerful seat in the world and help us win as a united working class,” said Fain.

“So that’s the choice we face?
- It’s not about who you like.
- It’s not about your party.
- It’s not about anything but our BEST SHOT AT TAKING BACK POWER for the working class.
“Donald Trump is a SCAB.
- Donald Trump is a BILLIONAIRE, and that’s who he represents.
- If Donald Trump ever worked in an auto plant, he wouldn’t be a UAW member. He’d be a company man, trying to squeeze the American autoworker.
- Donald Trump stands AGAINST everything the UAW stands FOR.
“When you go back to our core issues – Wages. Retirement. Health Care. Time. That’s what this election is about. Who will stand with us? And who will stand in our way? Those are the questions that will win or lose this election. Those are the questions that will determine the future of our country, and the fate of the working class. When I first came into office, we made some headlines by saying that our endorsements would be EARNED. We’ve said we’d stand with whoever stood with us in our contract fight. Not because somebody was nice to us, and we want to be nice to them. But because we need to know who’s going to PUT UP and who’s going to SHUT UP. We need to know who’s going to STAND UP with us.
“Joe Biden BET on the American worker and Trump BLAMED the American worker.
“We need to know who’s going to sit in the most powerful seat in the world, and help us win as a UNITED working class. So, if our endorsements must be earned, Joe Biden has earned it.
“Today I’m proud to announce that UAW is endorsing Joe Biden for President of the United States. And I am honored to invite Joe Biden to come address our great union, and join us in our fight for economic and social justice for the UAW and for the whole working class,” said Fain.
