President Joe Biden is seeking to court union workers on Labor Day, part of a White House bid to shore up ties with a key part of his electoral coalition and sell his economic policies to skeptical voters.
Biden will speak at the Annual Tri-State Labor Day Parade in Philadelphia on Monday, according to a White House official, a trip that will take him to his birth state and a crucial 2024 battleground critical to his reelection hopes.
That messaging blitz though has failed to lift his approval ratings and the public’s poor marks for his handling of the economy. Biden’s oft-cited “bottom up, middle out” approach to building the economy by increasing wages for lower-income workers has helped him win the backing of the AFL-CIO coalition and 17 other unions. But one powerful union, the United Auto Workers, which endorsed him in 2020 has yet to back his reelection bid.
The UAW’s campaign has run up against the administration’s push to transition the US to electric vehicles, with union leaders worrying that thousands of workers in EV battery plants for the big automakers aren’t union-protected. In recent months, Biden has avoided labor disputes that threatened to upend supply chains, with contracts at West Coast ports, for freight-rail workers, and an agreement between United Parcel Service Inc. and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.
