united auto workers

In 1981, Ronald Reagan set back the cause of labor for a generation. Biden has the chance to reverse that.
The former president argues that Joe Biden's support for the transition to electric vehicles has hurt union autoworkers.
Falling real wages and high corporate profits have fomented militancy on the picket lines at Ford, GM and Stellantis.
“Is that OK? Do you think that’s fair?” asked CNN's Jake Tapper on how much more the General Motors CEO makes compared to a "typical" GM worker.
“Those record profits have not been shared fairly, in my view, with those workers," he said.
Rather than strike all facilities at once, the union's president said they would wage strategic walkouts at Ford, GM and Stellantis if they don't reach deals.
Many observers believe a work stoppage of some kind looks increasingly likely.
The automakers, which are making billions in profits, have dismissed the UAW’s wish list.
The contracts for 150,000 autoworkers expire next month, creating the possibility of a large-scale walkout.
It’s not hard to see why the argument would play well in MAGA circles ― but it has potential to connect with a broader group of voters too.
