The US president tells autoworkers they deserve a ‘lot more’ than they are getting.
President Joe Biden speaks as he joins striking United Auto Workers on the picket line in Van Buren Township.
He was referring to a 2009 government bailout of US automakers that included wage cuts. “You deserve what you’ve earned. And you’ve earned a helluva lot more than what you’re getting paid now,” he said.Flanked by Secret Service agents, Biden exchanged fist bumps and took selfies with the crowd after he spoke as the John Mellencamp song “Small Town” played in the background.
UAW president Shawn Fain greeted Biden at the airport and handed the president a black UAW baseball cap. He also joined Biden at the picket line. UAW workers this month began targeted strikes against GM, Ford and Chrysler parent Stellantis seeking wage rises to match CEO pay jumps, shorter work weeks and job security as the industry moves toward electric vehicles.Both the Detroit Three and the UAW have a lot at stake in federal policy decisions.
