UAW Supports Biden's Commitment to Equal Rights Amendment, Gender Equity

UAW Endorses President Biden's Support for Equal Rights Amendment

The United Auto Workers (UAW) has praised President Joe Biden for his strong endorsement of the Equal Rights Amendment, expressing strong support for his commitment to achieving complete legal equality for women in the United States. With a history of more than 50 years advocating for gender equity in the workplace, the UAW views this development as a significant advancement toward gender justice for all Americans.

President Biden emphasized in his statement, “no one should be discriminated against based on their sex,” a sentiment that aligns closely with the objectives of the UAW’s Women’s Department. This department is dedicated to addressing disparities that arise from race, class, and gender both in workplaces and communities. The department's mission is part of the broader effort to eliminate discrimination in areas such as hiring practices, pay equity, advancement opportunities, training, seniority rights, and job retention.

The UAW's longstanding commitment to advocating for fairness and equality extends to all workers, regardless of background. The organization continues its campaign for a more equitable society, recognizing the significance of the ERA's passage as a pivotal move that ensures equal rights and legal protections for all individuals, irrespective of sex.
