President Joe Biden met briefly with a top auto union chief, as talks between the United Auto Workers and the Big Three US automakers continue ahead of a potentially damaging strike.
UAW leadership was at the White House for a meeting to brief senior staff on their positions Wednesday in the West Wing. Biden got wind of the meeting and asked to meet directly with the union’s president, Shawn Fain, who has previously called out the administration on its support for electric vehicles. The three contracts between the UAW and General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis are due to expire September 14, and a strike could have massive economic – and political – consequences.
Little progress has been made since the talks between the Big Three and the UAW began last Thursday, with Fain making his position clear in a Facebook address to UAW members: “If the Big Three don’t give us our fair share, then they’re choosing to strike themselves, and we’re not afraid to take action,” Fain said. Fain also declined to participate in a public handshake ceremony with the Big Three, marking a break in tradition.
