"Biden Secures United Steelworkers Union Endorsement in Battle for Blue-Collar Support"

President Biden received the endorsement of the United Steelworkers as he continues to vie for the blue-collar vote against former President Trump. The union, representing 850,000 workers, cited Biden's support for working families, collective bargaining, and middle-class growth as reasons for their endorsement. This comes after the United Auto Workers also endorsed Biden, while the International Brotherhood of Teamsters made a significant donation to the Republican National Committee, signaling a shift in union support. The endorsement highlights Biden's focus on infrastructure investment, worker-centered trade policy, and protection of retirement security, as he seeks to secure the support of key labor groups ahead of a likely rematch with Trump in November.

"Biden Woos Blue-Collar Vote at United Auto Workers Forum"

President Joe Biden will be the keynote speaker at a United Auto Workers’ political convention as he seeks to win over blue-collar workers in key auto-making swing states. The union has not yet endorsed Biden for a second term, with members expressing varying levels of support for the president. Biden's appearance on a picket line during a GM strike has garnered both enthusiasm and uncertainty among union members, with some citing concerns over his handling of the economy and foreign policy. The UAW's endorsement holds significant sway in influencing undecided members and nonunion blue-collar voters.
