Well there’s a problem.
Joe Biden, who has spent a career posturing as a union guy, is now enduring the UAW-Auto maker strike and is running into problems.
CNBC headlines it this way: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/09/
White House no longer sending top officials to Detroit for UAW strike talks this week
Reports CNBC:
“The Biden administration is no longer sending two key officials to Detroit this week to potentially help broker a deal between striking autoworkers and the Big Three car companies, a White House official told NBC News.
…But the White House and the UAW union mutually agreed it would be better to speak virtually via Zoom, the official said Tuesday. Biden largely sided with the striking autoworkers in an address on Friday. The president called on Ford, General Motors and Stellantis to share record profits with their workers.
Despite that, Biden has received a relatively cold reception from the UAW.
The union’s president, Shawn Fain, told MSNBC on Monday that he does not see a major role for the White House in resolving the dispute.”
Well isn’t that interesting. The President who spent his career selling his love for unions is now getting, per CNBC, “a relatively cold reception from the UAW.”
