President Biden announced on X (formerly “Twitter”) that he would be traveling to Michigan to join the United Auto Workers picket line; he says he wants to help them “fight for a fair share.”
“Tuesday, I’ll go to Michigan to join the picket line and stand in solidarity with the men and women of UAW as they fight for a fair share of the value they helped create,” Biden wrote.

It’s time for a win-win agreement that keeps American auto manufacturing thriving with well-paid UAW jobs.

From Politico:
His decision to stand alongside the striking workers represents perhaps the most significant display of union solidarity ever by a sitting president.
The president’s plans come as some Democrats have begun to question his response to the strike, recognizing that he needs the full backing of union workers in his presidential reelection bid.
Earlier on Friday, United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain announced that the strike would expand to more than three dozen additional locations across the country, rapidly expanding the union’s picket line that began at just three plants last Friday. Fain also asked Biden to join the workers on the picket line.
