Originally Published 2 years ago — by NBC News

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg stated that President Joe Biden's decision to join the picket line with auto union workers is because he is "deeply pro-worker" and not an attempt to outshine former President Donald Trump. Buttigieg described Biden as the most pro-worker, pro-union president in history. The White House announced that Biden would meet with striking United Auto Workers union members in Michigan on Tuesday to show solidarity. Buttigieg emphasized that the administration wants a win-win deal that benefits workers and supports the success of the auto sector. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez praised Biden's decision as a historic event.
