President Joe Biden weighed in Monday on contract talks at the Big Three automakers.
Biden, a vocal union supporter, issued a statement calling for the companies to"forge a fair agreement" with the United Auto Workers."The need to transition to a clean energy economy should provide a win‑win opportunity for auto companies and unionized workers," Biden said in the prepared statement.
Noting the controversy, former President Donald Trump has tried stepping into the void by saying he'll fight harder for manufacturing jobs than Biden does. Trump got into office in part by flipping the"blue wall" states of Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, where the UAW is based. Biden then flipped them back by touting his"Scranton Joe" roots and embracing some of Trump's policies in 2020.
