We are at a pivotal moment in our country; we can either allow a billionaire who opposes our union\u2019s values to return to office or choose Kamala Harris, who will stand with us against corporate greed.\u201d He emphasized that this campaign is uniting individuals from diverse backgrounds to create a movement capable of defeating Trump at the polls. For their one million active and retired members, Fain asserted that the decision is straightforward: they will support Kamala Harris as their next president this November.<\/p>\n<p>The UAW highlighted that Harris had previously joined striking autoworkers on the picket line in 2019 and praised her efforts against corporate price gouging. She is scheduled to visit Detroit next Wednesday for a rally with UAW members and engage directly with union leaders and members. As one of the largest labor unions in America, boasting over 400,000 active members according to its website, the UAW had earlier backed President Joe Biden in January before he withdrew from his reelection campaign earlier this month.
