(DETROIT, MICHIGAN) - The United Auto Workers’ (UAW) International Executive Board has voted to endorse Kamala Harris for President of the United States.

Her historic candidacy builds on the Biden-Harris Administration’s proven track record of standing with the UAW and delivering major gains for the Working Class.  

UAW President Shawn Fain said: “Our job in this election is to defeat Donald Trump and elect Kamala Harris to build on her proven track record of delivering for the Working Class.  We stand at a crossroads in this country.  We can put a billionaire back in office who stands against everything our Union stands for or we can elect Kamala Harris who will stand shoulder to shoulder with us in our war on corporate greed.  This campaign is bringing together people from all walks of life, building a movement that can defeat Donald Trump at the ballot box.  For our one million Active and Retired Members, the choice is clear: We will elect Kamala Harris to be our next President this November.” 

Years before the Stand Up Strike, Harris walked the picket line with striking Auto Workers in 2019 and has since taken on corporate price-gouging and profiteering, the UAW said.

Harris has also spoken out and voted against unfair trade deals that hurt the American Worker like NAFTA and NAFTA 2.0 - the USMCA, the Union said.  

On Wednesday (August 7th), the Harris for President Campaign will come to Detroit to rally with UAW Members, Michigan voters and thousands of Working Class people who are fighting for a better future.

Vice President Harris will also meet directly with UAW Members and Leaders to hear about the issues that matter to Michigan Workers.
