“For decades, Joe Biden has been a champion for working people, the labor movement and public service workers,” AFSCME President Lee Saunders said in a statement. “He shares our values, and he will fight for our voice on the job and our seat at the table. He has a gut-level understanding of the challenges and struggles keeping working families awake at night. He knows that the union difference means better jobs and stronger communities, an economy that extends opportunity to everyone, not just the wealthy and well-connected.”
