The leader of the United Auto Workers is pushing back against President Joe Biden's claims that an impending strike is unlikely, saying that the union is focusing on reaching an agreement with automakers.
“One thing we’ve said from the outset is things are not going to be as they always have been," he said."The companies in past negotiations always have a tendency to drag things out until the very end, and then they want to drop a bunch of stuff and just scramble,” UAW President Shawn Fain said in an interview on MSNBC's Morning Joe. “And I’ve told them from Day One that we don’t intend to do things that way.
Fain stressed that the union plans to bargain with all three Detroit automakers, General Motors, Ford Motor Co., and Stellantis, ahead of the contract expiration on Sept. 14. UAW voted in favor of a strike if demands are not met by next week. He said that Biden, who describes himself as the most pro-union president, had good intentions"when he said he wants these to good-paid, or these to be union jobs."
