The autoworkers’ union leader blasted Donald Trump on CNN Tuesday night, foreshadowing a chilly reception ahead of the former president’s“I don’t think the man has any bit of care about what our workers stand for, what the working class stands for,” United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, adding that he will not meet with Trump while he’s in town. “He serves the billionaire class and that’s what’s wrong with this country.
The event will be held at a non-unionized auto parts supplier located near Detroit. Fain called it a “pathetic irony” that the former president chose a non-union venue to host a rally for union members, slamming Trump’s record on labor. A spokesperson for the Trump campaign defended his record in a statement to POLITICO, claiming the former president had “always been on the side of American workers.”
Fain called Biden’s visit a “great thing” for the union, noting that it was the first time a sitting president had joined a picket line. “That cannot be minimized, it can’t go unnoticed,” Fain said.
