Experts in presidential and U.S. labor history say they cannot recall an instance where a sitting president has joined an ongoing strike.
"You deserve what you earned and you earned a hell of a lot more than what you're getting paid now," Biden told the workers who are on the 12th day of their strike against the three major automakers, General Motors, Ford and Stellantis.
"This is absolutely unprecedented. No president has ever walked a picket line before," Erik Loomis, a professor at the University of Rhode Island, told The Associated Press. "They did not see it as their place to directly intervene in a strike or in labor action," he said. The UAW is demanding double-digit pay increases for all workers, the elimination of its tiered wage system, and more paid time off, among other things.
