The union’s president called it a major step in a “just transition” for workers toward electric vehicle manufacturing.
The union's president called on more workers to walk out at Ford and General Motors, but cited progress at Stellantis.
Early, nameless claims from Trump’s campaign laid the groundwork for misleading reporting.
The former president said the UAW talks amid a historic labor dispute ultimately wouldn't matter much in the transition to electric vehicles.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
The former president is planning a rally he previously said would feature union workers, but the Michigan plant he's stopping at doesn't have a UAW shop.
"Stick with it, because you deserve the significant raise you need and other benefits," he said.

The presidential hopeful called Reagan’s move a "great example," but it’s generally illegal to fire workers in private-sector work stoppages.
