President Joe Biden said he did not think a threatened strike by the United Auto Workers union against Detroit’s big three legacy carmakers would take place, as the two sides struggle to reach a new contract.
“I’m not worried about a strike. I don’t think it’s going to happen,” Biden told reporters after arriving in Philadelphia, where he will deliver a Labor Day address Monday.
There are significant differences between the two sides over pay and benefits, and a transition to electric vehicles, which have raised concerns about a potential work stoppage after the current contract expires. UAW President Shawn Fain met with Biden at the White House in July to update him on negotiations. Publicly, he has said Democrats need to do more to support the union’s fight for higher wages.
