Biden Backs Auto Workers, Trump Attacks Union Leader

Washington Post: “The sharply different approaches between the likely 2024 presidential nominees over the UAW strike highlights the broader contrast between Biden and Trump around unions, the clean energy transition and the economy more generally. Biden, who claims to be the most pro-union president in American history, aimed to show support for labor — while Trump, during whose administration the UAW also went on strike against GM, has picked personal fights and bashed Democrats for pushing the auto industry to transition to electric vehicles.”

“Concentrated in Midwestern states that could help decide the next election, the strike could prove both an economic threat to the White House and a political test.”
