From day one, Vice President Kamala Harris has been a true partner in leading the most pro-labor administration in history. With her in the White House, we’ll be able to build on the powerful, pro-worker legacy of the Biden–Harris administration to create good union jobs, grow the labor movement and make our economy work for all of us.
Following a vote of its Executive Council, which represents 60 unions and 12.5 million workers, today the AFL-CIO unanimously endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president in the 2024 election.
“From day one, Vice President Kamala Harris has been a true partner in leading the most pro-labor administration in history,” said AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler. “At every step in her distinguished career in public office, she’s proven herself a principled and tenacious fighter for working people and a visionary leader we can count on. From taking on Wall Street and corporate greed to leading efforts to expand affordable child care and support vulnerable workers, she’s shown time and again that she’s on our side. With Kamala Harris in the White House, together we’ll continue to build on the powerful legacy of the Biden-Harris administration to create good union jobs, grow the labor movement and make our economy work for all of us.”
Breaking It Down for Workers
Project 2025 is the 920-page document by Donald Trump and his allies that spells out what they plan to do during a Trump second term. The AFL-CIO is deeply concerned about pro-corporate policies that would drive up costs, put people out of work, endanger people’s lives and make it harder for working people to get ahead. For unions, this agenda would make it tougher for members to win gains in our next contracts and stack the deck in favor of CEOs.
