President Biden sought to ramp up pressure on the United Auto Workers union and the nation's three unionized automakers — Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis, known as the 'Big Three' — one month ahead of a critical deadline for labor talks
“As the Big Three auto companies and the United Auto Workers come together — one month before the expiration of their contract — to negotiate a new agreement, I want to be clear about where I stand. I’m asking all sides to work together to forge a fair agreement,” Biden said in a new statement Monday. The White House has been closely monitoring the talks as the two sides appear far apart.
That means ensuring that Big Three auto jobs are good jobs that can support a family; that auto companies should honor the right to organize; take every possible step to avoid painful plant closings; and ensure that when transitions are needed, the transitions are fair and look to retool, reboot, and rehire in the same factories and communities at comparable wages, while giving existing workers the first shot to fill those jobs,” Biden said in the statement.
