Biden Clips:
Middle class American folks have never let the country down...

You have been the centerpiece of everything I've done...

Unions built the middle class in this country...

The reason there is a middle class is because of unions...

Build labor, we build America; build labor, we build the middle class...

There's only one reason why there's a 40-hour week; there's only reason there's overtime pay—because of you...

When it came time to picking a team, you're the guys I wanted on my team...

This is where I stand and where I stand is with you...

Harold Schaitberger: On behalf of the International Association of Fire Fighters, I'm proud to announce that we stand with Joe Biden and endorse his candidacy for president of the United States.

Joe's a lot like our fire fighters. 

He's a problem solver who cares deeply about America and committed to making our country better. 

He's one of the staunchest advocates for working families.

He knows that a strong middle class means a strong America, and we know as president he will stand up for all the patriotic Americans who want nothing more than to earn a decent wage, send their kids to college, have affordable health care and a decent and secure retirement. 

Joe Biden's exceptional experience on the international stage throughout his public career, establishing strong relationships with leaders from across the globe, will put America back as the beacon of hope and democracy around the world.

Joe Biden through civility and decency will enhance the political discourse that our country needs right now, truly believing that we must be united and stand together as Americans.

He knows that while we can debate and argue over policy issues, we must put personal differences aside to solve the big problems for the American people.

The endorsement of the IAFF was approved because Joe Biden will be a champion for the public's safety in America, fighting for policies and legislation that improve the lives and livelihoods of not just fire fighters, but all who work for a living.

Joe Biden is a compasssionate, personal and decent leader, and when the going gets tough is always there standing with those in times of need.

Joe is a good man who cares deeply about his fellow Americans and our great nation.

That's why the the International Association of Fire Fighters is endorsing Joe Biden for president of the United States.
