UAW delays Biden endorsement over EV worker concerns.

The United Auto Workers (UAW) is withholding its endorsement for President Joe Biden's reelection until concerns about the auto industry's transition to all-electric vehicles (EVs) are addressed. UAW President Shawn Fain argues that the transition to EVs is currently not a "just transition" for workers, and the union wants national leadership to have their back before making any commitments. The UAW has historically supported Democrats, but Fain said "another Donald Trump presidency would be a disaster." The UAW is concerned about how to transition traditional auto workers into new jobs for EVs, and a 2018 study by the union found mass adoption of EVs could cost the UAW 35,000 jobs.
