Despite winning the presidency as a "blue collar billionaire," Dekiea Rawls, a UAW worker of 12 years who works in Flint, said Trump should let the union negotiate its own contracts. Judy Batterbee, a UAW member of 22 years, agreed: "I don't feel like it's necessary," she said standing with a UAW strike picket sign in her hand outside the Flint facility.
A spokesman with the UAW on Sunday declined to comment on the tweet. A GM spokesman, in response to the tweet, said: "We couldn't agree more."
