No, Joe Biden should not have joined the UAW picket line.
President Joe Biden addresses striking members of the United Auto Workers union at a picket line outside a General Motors plant in Belleville, Michigan, on Sept. 26, 2023.
Biden’s poll numbers over the weekend were not exactly inspiring confidence, and the dispute between the UAW and Detroit’s auto giants clearly represented a golden opportunity for Biden to shore up support among a key yet politically wobbly constituency: blue-collar workers. The Democrats know they have can count on the loyalty of coastal elites, but the folks who work the line in Detroit and then head “up north” to fish on the weekend are a less secure constituency.
The union has zeroed in on the pay given to bosses such as General Motors CEO Mary Barra, the highest-paid chief executive among the Big 3. Berra made nearly $29 million last year. That’s because her pay is almost all performance-based and GM had a banner time coming out of the pandemic.
