Striking Autoworkers Are Cool to Biden’s Embrace

“President Biden, who calls himself the most pro-union president ever and has sided with striking United Auto Workers — calling for ‘record contracts’ as the union walked out on Friday — has yet to convince many rank-and-file U.A.W. members that his sentiments are more than just nice-sounding words,” the New York Times reports.

“That was the prevailing view in interviews with two dozen striking workers for Ford and Jeep in Michigan and Ohio this weekend. Many, including some who voted for him, said inflation had so undercut their wages that they felt pushed out of the middle class, laying the blame with Mr. Biden.”
