United Steelworkers (USW) President on Why "Working People Need Joe Biden"

Published: Oct. 13, 2020, 6:42 p.m.

Leslie is joined by Tom Conway, President of the United Steelworkers (USW), North America’s largest industrial union.

During the episode, Tom makes the case as to why "Working People Need Joe Biden."
Here are a couple of the reasons that Tom gives, but in much more detail on-air.

- COVID-19 demonstrated how essential manufacturing is to keeping Americans safe. But even before COVID-19 struck, manufacturing was in a recession.
- Joe Biden has a common sense plan to revitalize American manufacturing. Importantly, Biden's plan puts workers first, so these are good jobs that can support America's communities.

Tom Conway is the USW's most experienced contract negotiator in steel, aluminum, oil and other major industries where USW members work, often directing bargaining during crises.

The website for the USW is USW.org. Their Twitter and Instagram handle is @steelworkers.
