Biden's Commitment to Autoworkers and Labor Deals

President Joe Biden expressed his support for autoworkers, stating that they deserve contracts similar to those recently won by the United Auto Workers (UAW) from major automakers. These contracts include significant wage increases, cost-of-living adjustments, additional retiree contributions, and substantial investments. Biden also emphasized his commitment to prioritize the reopening of a Stellantis plant in Belvidere, Illinois, during a visit with UAW President Shawn Fain. The UAW plans to use these successful negotiations as a stepping stone to organize non-union auto plants, aiming to build on their recent strike victory and create a positive example for future organizing efforts.

The rise in labor activism can be attributed to a greater awareness of economic inequality and exploitation, as well as lessons learned from past organizing movements. The Biden administration has made pro-labor appointments and is working to create a more level playing field for unions and workers. However, challenges remain, including low-wage competition both domestically and internationally.
