President Obama: A Fighter for UFCW Members and Working Families

  Obama 

At a time when workers are under attack by big corporations, special interests, and their cronies in government, President Obama has been an unyielding friend to working men and women. He has stayed true to the vision he outlined to the UFCW nearly four years ago. He is the only candidate for President in 2012 that has our interests at heart.

In the current climate of economic turmoil and political division, President Obama still managed to pass the most sweeping financial reform legislation since the Great Depression. He formed a middle-class task force so working families have a voice at the White House. And he took George Bush’s Department of Big Business and made it the Department of Labor again. Our right to a safe workplace is being enforced instead of ignored. The right to fair pay free of discrimination is being protected, not trampled on. And the right to stick together and join a union like ours is being promoted, not destroyed. That’s the difference when someone like President Obama is in the White House.

The past four years have been rough on all of us, but the choice is clear—we must re-elect Barack Obama in 2012.
