UAW president slams Trump’s labor record ahead of former president's appearance at rally

Fain's criticism of the former president stems from his apparent treatment of the UAW in the past, with Fain arguing that Trump's record"speaks for itself." The UAW president argued that Trump"blamed our contracts" during the 2008 recession and that Trump"talked about doing rotation" in 2015 by moving jobs from the Midwest to the South,"where people work for less money.

Fain was asked if his criticisms of Trump were an endorsement for President Joe Biden ahead of the 2024 presidential election, which he denied and said it was simply"flat-out how I view the former president." The union has yet to endorse a presidential candidate. Biden appeared with UAW protesters on Tuesday, telling them to "stick with it" during a brief visit to the picket line. The president's campaign has since released an ad regarding Trump's manufacturing and auto industry records."He says he stands with autoworkers. But as president, Donald Trump passed tax breaks for his rich friends, while automakers shuttered their plants and Michigan lost manufacturing jobs," the ad, titled"Delivers," said.

Trump is attending a UAW rally on Wednesday night in Michigan instead of attending the second 2024 Republican primary debate. The former president also skipped out on the last primary debate, opting instead to do a one-on-one interview with former Fox News personality Tucker Carlson.
