"Biden's UAW Endorsement Ignites Controversy Amid Gaza Conflict"
The United Auto Workers' endorsement of President Joe Biden for his 2024 reelection campaign has sparked internal dissent among union members who believe Biden's support for Israel is at odds with the union's call for a ceasefire in Gaza. UAW members interrupted Biden's acceptance of the endorsement, calling for a ceasefire, and at least 527 workers signed a petition pressing union leadership to only endorse candidates who publicly call for a ceasefire. Some members believe the endorsement undermines the union's leverage to push for a ceasefire, while others have withdrawn their support of the UAW's political arm. UAW President Shawn Fain reaffirmed the union's pro-ceasefire position and stated that the protesters were exercising their democratic rights.
