Publishing timestamp: 2023-09-18 13:17:35
Summary
UAW President Shawn Fain rejects the White House's involvement in brokering an agreement to end the autoworkers' strike. President Biden offered assistance, but Fain believes the battle is about workers' rights and not about the president. The strike has entered its fourth day with no resolution in sight. The UAW members are demanding better wages, workweek hours, and benefits. The automakers argue that the demands would cripple the companies. Former President Trump also weighs in on the situation, criticizing the UAW leadership and claiming that manufacturing jobs will shift to China under the Biden administration's electric car transition.
