President Trump lashes out at GM and autoworkers union, calls for 'fast' action to reopen plant.
President Donald Trump targeted both General Motors and an Ohio union official this weekend over an assembly plant that the automaker closed earlier this month.
On Sunday, Trump said he spoke to GM Chief Executive Officer Mary Barra about the facility and “asked her to sell it or do something quickly.” He claimed she “blamed” the closure on the United Auto Workers union.Earlier, the president tweeted that “Democrat” UAW Local 1112 President David Green “ought to get his act together and produce.” The union represents workers at the Lordstown plant.
Green has written two letters to Trump asking him to save the plant and its jobs, local TV stations WKBN reported in February. In a February letter shared by the news outlet, Green implored Trump to make a case for the facility. Green noted that the president had not responded to a first letter he sent in July 2018.
While Trump has previously criticized GM, Sunday appeared to be the first time that he targeted Green, a local union official, by name.
