Biden's Labor Outreach: Meeting Auto Workers' Union President and More
TL;DR Summary
President Joe Biden met privately with United Auto Workers (UAW) leader Shawn Fain at the White House to discuss labor contract negotiations with the Big Three automakers. The meeting comes amid concerns of a potential UAW strike and the union's withholding of support for Biden's reelection campaign due to concerns over his handling of the electric vehicle transition. Fain asked for Biden's support in contract talks and urged him to attach stronger labor provisions to federal grants and loans. The UAW is focused on improving worker standards in the emerging electric vehicle industry.
