President Joe Biden has called himself the most pro-union president ever, but supporting the UAW might put him at odds with one of his own policies.
The United Auto Workers have told General Motors, Ford and Stellantis that if they don't get a deal with improved wages by 11:59 Thursday night, union members are prepared to strike—at least partially to start.
Strikes in historyA nationwide UAW strike wouldn't be the first. The 1940s saw multiple strikes by the union. The 1970s had some of the most consequential auto worker strikes in history. However, UAW President Shawn Fain has yet to endorse a candidate for president in 2024. Most major unions have already endorsed President Biden.SEE MORE: What impact would a UAW strike have on the US economy?Ford CEO Jim Farley said last year that EVs will eventually require 40% less labor to build than traditional cars. The UAW has criticized Democrats in Washington for handing out EV battery-building contracts to states with low union membership.
"These people are allowing this country to do these electric vehicles that very few people want," Trump added.
