The contract talks between automakers and the UAW pose a delicate balance for Biden and Democrats between their priorities of transitioning the nation to electric vehicles and courting support of the UAW.
"I support a fair transition to a clean energy future," President Joe Biden said in a statement timed exactly a month before the United Auto Workers contract with Detroit automakers is set to expire Sept. 14. | Evan Vucci/AP PhotoPresident Joe Biden dipped a toe into the contract talks between automakers and the UAW on Monday, reaffirming his support for electric vehicle jobs as a path to the middle class while urging the companies to address the union’s concerns over the transition.
He went on to list things that are key union priorities, including honoring the right to organize unions, providing jobs “that can support a family,” and ensuring that industry “transitions are fair and look to retool, reboot, and rehire in the same factories and communities at comparable wages, while giving existing workers the first shot to fill those jobs.”
