WASHINGTON – The United Auto Workers is endorsing Barack Obama for president.
The union made its endorsement public today, with UAW President Ron Gettelfinger crediting Obama with winning “a historic primary campaign which activated and mobilized millions of voters.”
The endorsement followed a unanimous vote of the union’s International Executive Board.
Said Gettelfinger: “Obama has been a voice for dignity and justice for working people. … On every issue that counts, we can count on Barack Obama to stand with our members, our families and our communities. He has pledged to rebuild America’s manufacturing base and to assist the auto industry as we re-tool toward a cleaner, more modern transportation system.”
