Kenneth Stribling is a retired Teamster, having served 30 years. He also organized an effort to protect pensions for union members after his wife was diagnosed with cancer in 2015.

He shared some of that struggle on the stage at the DNC, surrounded by other union leaders.

"After 50 days in office, the Biden-Harris administration passed the American Rescue Plan, including the Butch Lewis Act to save our pensions and secure our retirement," Stribling said. "They got it done without one single Republican vote in Congress."

Stribling told the crowd he knows Harris would fight for their retirement, social security and medicare after the Biden-Harris administration passed legislation to protect pensions.
