REP. DINGELL: Yes, it's far more significant. And I'll tell you why. Those days were- these companies were facing bankruptcy. And quite frankly, it was because of management decisions. And the auto workers were scared for their jobs, and they stepped up. And they gave away their cost of living increases to help. They gave in 2008 and 2009. Now the companies are back in a strong position.
REP. DINGELL: Well, I mean, that is something that's very real. And on the table right now, is really- there's probably only one battery plant that may be under the master agreement. We've got to- it's not an easy question. It's not easy to deal with. And I also want to say something else that everybody doesn't understand. Yeah, Tesla does have a huge discrepancy in what they're paying their employees.
REP. DINGELL: First of all, I do not believe that the President should intervene or be at the negotiating table. I've said that from the beginning. But you know, if anything that the pandemic has just taught us, is that- like- who's in an office and who's working? I talk to Gene Sperling multiple times a day and have all summer. So there are- I don't think they've got a role at the negotiating table.
