Community Joe Biden vs. Donald Trump

IBEW Local 103 Endorses Joe Biden trump... not so much!bidensupports union workers and families

for President!

With each passing day, the choice of who should be elected our nation’s next leader becomes more clear. That’s why IBEW Local 103 is strongly endorsing Joe Biden for President of the United States.

For workers concerned about providing for their families, protecting their jobs and right to organize, reviving our economy, and protecting our country from the coronavirus pandemic, Joe is the clear choice. That’s why labor groups across the board are endorsing his campaign.

Throughout his distinguished career, Joe has been a strong ally to labor and will be a champion for strengthening worker benefits, pay and retirement security, unlike Donald Trump. While in office, Trump has been the most anti-worker President in our lifetime, through his tax plan, his anti-labor NLRB and OSHA administration, and his 2018 executive orders against federal employees. Joe Biden has promised to rescind those executive orders.

Please join us in electing Joe Biden as President of the United States of America! Vote Tuesday, November 3!
