United Auto Workers, the country’s largest auto union, announced the strike on Sept. 14, just before workers’ existing contracts lapsed. The strike against Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis began with just three plants facing work stoppages, but UAW President Shawn Fain, who has drawn headlines for his confrontational stance in negotiations, announced a major expansion last week.
“Tuesday, I'll go to Michigan to join the picket line and stand in solidarity with the men and women of UAW as they fight for a fair share of the value they helped create,” Biden posted Friday evening. “It's time for a win-win agreement that keeps American auto manufacturing thriving with well-paid UAW jobs.”
The White House won some plaudits from labor advocates after officials worked with dockworkers and West Coast ports to avert a strike and come to an agreement amid contract negotiations earlier this year. The deal avoided a major blow to the country’s supply chains.Trump will be visiting Detroit on Wednesday evening to address hundreds of current and former UAW members.
Trump has also suggested that the only reason Biden is visiting Michigan this week is in response to his own visit, which was announced ahead of the White House’s announcement that Biden would be joining the picket line. Haley branded herself a “union buster” during an interview with Fox News in which she highlighted how as governor, she recruited foreign auto manufacturers to South Carolina.
