The hospitality workers’ union UNITE HERE has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president, dismissing Donald Trump’s promise to make tips tax-free as a mere ploy for votes.
Union President Gwen Mills emphasized Harris’s strong track record of supporting unions as the basis for the endorsement.
The union plans to mobilize members to knock on over 3.3 million doors in key swing states.
While Trump’s proposal gained some traction, especially in Nevada, the Biden administration, which Harris represents, argues that raising the minimum wage would benefit tipped workers more.
With Harris quickly consolidating support from labor unions after Biden stepped down, UNITE HERE’s endorsement is crucial for driving voter turnout in the upcoming election.
