The United Steelworkers (USW) union has endorsed President Joe Biden for a second term in office.

“President Biden proved time and again during his first term that he stands with working families,” USW International President David McCall said in a statement on Wednesday.

“His vision and leadership allowed our nation to strengthen workers’ access to collective bargaining, grow the middle class, and embark on a path to widespread prosperity,” McCall added.

The union said the endorsement comes after a months-long process. This included surveying USW members’ priorities and submitting questionnaires to candidates in both parties to gauge their positions on key labor issues.
