WASHINGTON, July 22, 2024 — Brian Bryant, International President of the 600,000-member International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM), released the following statement on the news of President Biden leaving the 2024 Presidential race:
“President Biden will go down in history as the most pro-union president in American history. The Biden-Harris Administration has put working people first at every turn – bringing our jobs home, standing up to corporate greed, making record investments in American workers, walking a picket line, and much more.
“The President’s unparalleled support for working people includes the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Inflation Reduction Act, the CHIPS and Science Act, and the American Rescue Plan, which will cement his legacy in American history as getting things done for working families. I will be forever grateful to President Biden for nominating me to the President’s Export Council, which helps ensure workers have a prominent seat in every trade discussion that affects our jobs, supply chains, and national security.
“President Biden’s enforcement of Buy American provisions continues to strengthen national defense and the economy, benefiting working families. He has appointed the most pro-union labor boards in history, which are making it easier for unions and working people to exercise their rights and going after union-busting employers.
“To put it simply, unions are strong again thanks to President Biden. We’re going to continue your work of building back the middle class from the bottom up and middle out, because as you always say, unions built the middle class.
“Thank you again, Mr. President.”
