NEW YORK: President Joe Biden called on Monday for a"win-win" labour agreement between US car manufacturers and the United Auto Workers , weighing in as a potential strike looms next month.
Many auto experts see a high likelihood of at least one company facing a strike this fall. The UAW has a long history of strikes, most recently in 2019 at GM. A self-professed"labor guy," Biden has strongly backed the right of workers to organise and already obtained key endorsements from some unions, as well as the AFL-CIO.Fain, who met with Biden last month at the White House, has at times slammed the Biden administration for not doing more to ensure the transition to electric vehicles lifts workers.
