Yup….
The President of the United States of America WILL walk WITH striking auto workers against Automakers….
Joe Biden has always sold himself as the “Union Guy’……
It appears that he’s putting his feet where his mouth is….
AND?
You might want be aware?
The United Auto Workers have memebers working in plants and parts maker’s in in 20 states, including six Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Nevada, North Carolina and Georgia.
Those state’s Biden did VERY WELL in electoral votes in the 2020 Presidential and leds right now in most….
Ttump & Co. is trying to make stab at Biden by ‘saying’ he’s for unions, which is pure Bull Shit….
Trump HAS promised over and OVER to cut Federal Union member jobs….
Money Trump gave to companies for job hiring during his admin did not increase jobs in most cases….
Seth Harris, a former top labor policy adviser for Mr. Biden, said he was not aware of any president walking a picket line before.
“This president takes seriously his role as the most pro-union president in history,” Mr. Harris said. “Sometimes that means breaking precedent.”
Earlier Friday, Mr. Biden’s re-election campaign posted on social media a video of Republican presidential candidates and Fox News anchors bemoaning his support for unions. The caption from Mr. Biden read: “Yes.”
Mr. Fain’s invitation came a week into an expanding work stoppage by autoworkers at Ford, General Motors and Stellantis plants. The union president announced on Friday that the strike, which began last week at three plants in the Midwest, would expand to 38 more locations in 20 states across the country. He said that talks with General Motors and Stellantis had not progressed significantly, but that Ford had done more to meet the union’s demands.
Mr. Biden has defended the striking autoworkers since the stoppage began last week, and the White House has dispatched Julie Su, the acting secretary of labor, and Gene Sperling, a top White House economic adviser, to seek an end to the strike.
Mr. Biden has referred to himself as “the most pro-union president in American history” and has long made his alliances with and support for organized labor a central part of his political identity. But his administration’s push for a transition to electric vehicles has put him at odds with the U.A.W., because electric vehicles require fewer workers to produce.
The U.A.W. has broken with other major unions in so far declining to endorse Mr. Biden’s re-election bid.
Mr. Trump is skipping next week’s Republican presidential primary debate and instead delivering a speech in Michigan before current and former union workers. Mr. Trump pulled away significant portions of union workers from Democrats in his 2016 victory by denouncing international free trade agreements. In his current campaign, he has staked out a position against the federal push for more electric vehicles.
Jason Miller, a senior adviser to the Trump campaign, said Mr. Biden would not be going to Michigan if Mr. Trump had not announced a trip there first. On social media, he called Mr. Biden’s visit “nothing more than a cheap photo op as he finds himself between a rock and a political hard place.”
Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina — who, like the rest of the Republican presidential candidates, trails far behind Mr. Trump — sought to inject himself into the news cycle about the strike this week by suggesting that the autoworkers should be fired, a move the companies are legally prohibited from carrying out…..
