The United Farm Workers on Tuesday announced its endorsement of President Joe Biden for reelection, saying that the Democrat has proven throughout his life to be an “authentic champion” for workers and their families, regardless of race or national origin.

The farm workers’ union was co-founded by Cesar Chavez, the late grandfather of Julie Chavez Rodriguez, who Biden named as his 2024 campaign manager. Her father, Arturo Rodriquez, is a past UFW president.

Julie Rodriguez and “special guests” were expected to formally announce the endorsement later Tuesday at Muranaka Farms in the city of Moorpark in southern California.

    We NEED less outsourcing and dependencies on foreign entities

    Do you have any supporting arguments for this? This is the opposite of what I’d like to see.

      On a simple matter of logistics it makes sense, simplifies it down a good bit. Also better to not put all your eggs in one basket. Spread out manufacturing and dont rely on a single country or region.

        Spreading out manufacturing is the exact opposite of concentrating manufacturing jobs in the US

          You’re looking at it from the wrong perspective. The US isn’t starting out with mostly manufacturing in the US and further concentrating it.

          The US currently is far too concentrated in China and bringing more manufacturing back to the US is “spreading it out”

      Leaving necessary materials or products exposed to interference by geopolitical adversaries is generally not the best idea.

      Yep, it’s a global community, we need to move towards that slowly, but when people can’t stop hating their own countrymen I am not holding my breath for that goal

      Not that we have solved the problem of despots and dictators taking over countries either, so it really is a long way to go
