UAW President Shawn Fain gave a “withering” list of reasons why his union gave it’s endorsement to President Biden for re-election, the Detroit News reports.
Said Fain: “If you look just at the facts and the body of work of both candidates and both of them, in their own words. Nowhere in history has Donald Trump ever stood for the American worker. He stands against pretty much everything we stand for.”
He added: “We had to look at a lot of things and overall, you know, we decided our contract fight with the Big Three, our most successful contract in history, President Biden stood there with us on the picket line, unlike President Trump back in ’19, when GM was on strike for 40 days and he was completely not existent and silent on the issue. I can go through a list of things, the difference in the candidates. it’s very clear to us who stands with working-class people in this country and who stands against them.”
