The Executive Council of the AFL-CIO recently voted unanimously to reaffirm its support for President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. This decision was made during a meeting attended by approximately 60 union leaders at the AFL-CIO headquarters.

The Council praised his dedication to the labor movement, describing him as the 'Scranton Joe' known for his fighting spirit. The message conveyed during the meeting highlighted the importance of solidarity in achieving common goals.
The Council's statement emphasized the need for unity in pursuing a vision of a country where everyone has access to essential benefits such as a living wage, affordable healthcare, retirement security, and quality time for personal pursuits. The AFL-CIO reiterated its belief that collaboration and a shared vision are essential for creating a society where individuals can thrive and enjoy a fulfilling life.
