The United Auto Workers Union recently endorsed President Joe Biden for the 2024 election, but its president, Shawn Fain, acknowledged that many members may still vote for Donald Trump. Fain emphasized that the majority of members prioritize their paychecks and an economy that works for them. The union's decision to endorse Biden was based on his support for their cause and his track record, including backing them during a strike against major automobile manufacturers. Despite the endorsement, a recent poll showed Trump leading Biden in the 2024 presidential election matchup.
President Joe Biden secures the United Auto Workers Union's endorsement as he gears up for a likely rematch against Donald Trump, with the union's support seen as crucial in the swing state of Michigan. Biden has been actively courting the union, addressing concerns about his electric vehicle policies and emphasizing his support for union workers. The UAW's endorsement is a significant win for Biden, who has historically relied on union support, and comes as his campaign shifts focus to the general election, positioning itself against a divided GOP and emphasizing Biden's track record and appeal to key constituencies.
Honda Motor is giving many U.S. factory workers an 11% pay increase and reducing the time it takes to reach the top wage by half, following the United Auto Workers union's recent gains in Detroit. The changes will take effect in January and mirror similar improvements negotiated by the UAW with other major car companies.
