International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers endorses Biden

[RandySF]

Former Vice President Joe Biden won the presidential endorsement of a top union group Wednesday as he seeks to boost his support among working class voters.

The leadership of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers announced Wednesday that it unanimously decided to endorse Biden at its annual officers meeting.

The endorsement from the union, which represents 775,000 active and retired electrical workers across North America, comes as a boon for the former vice president just days after what may turn out to be a fourth-place finish in the Iowa caucuses.

“Vice President Biden has been a longtime friend of working families and the IBEW,” said IBEW International President Lonnie Stephenson. “Joe has a long record of standing up for union members, and we believe it’s in the best interest of IBEW members to elect him our next president.”
