President Biden: Legacy of Accomplishments for Workers

[Washington, D.C.] International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers (BAC) President Timothy Driscoll issued the following statement today after the announcement President Joseph R. Biden is no longer seeking reelection:

Joe Biden is the finest president that working Americans and their unions have ever known. BAC members across our country have benefitted significantly from the programs and policies that President Biden has implemented during his presidency. Indeed, the actions of the Biden-Harris administration to support the rights of workers to form unions, bargain collectively, have a voice in the workplace, and retire with dignity have greatly benefitted the entire labor movement.

The Biden-Harris administration’s record of accomplishments on behalf of workers and their unions over the last 3.5 years is unmatched. A commitment to building and improving upon those accomplishments will be the bellwether by which all candidates that seek the office of president this fall must be measured. Vice President Kamala Harris has absolutely earned the right to contend for that mantle. 

A lifetime of service has earned President Biden the right to choose not to seek a second term. Selflessly, he has committed to continuing his steadfast leadership of our nation through his current term. We are indebted to him as a nation for his unwavering dedication to the democratic values and principles that define our country.
