WASHINGTON– President Joe Biden’s choice to sign up with striking United Auto Workers in Detroit, Michigan, on Tuesday was not affected by previous president Donald Trump’s prepared check out on Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stated.
“Absolutely not,” Jean-Pierre stated when asked at journalism rundownMonday “This decision to visit the picket line was based on his own desire. This is what the president wanted — to stand with autoworkers. That’s what you’re going to see the president do tomorrow.”
Jean-Pierre stated Biden is checking out the picket line at the invite of UAW President Shawn Fain and stands with autoworkers, though she did not enter information of the continuous settlements in between the union and car manufacturers.
The UAW, which represents about 146,000 employees throughout Ford, General Motors and Stellantis, has actually traditionally supported Democrats and backed Biden in 2020, however it is the just significant union that has yet to back the president for reelection.
UAW employees on Friday broadened their strike to 38 parts and circulation areas throughout 20 states, targeting GM andStellantis The union will not start extra strikes at Ford Motor, as the business has actually shown it’s “serious about reaching a deal,” Fain stated in a Facebook Live remark.
Trump revealed recently he would avoid the 2nd GOP argument in California and talk with striking UAW employees rather.
