US president to join striking workers on UAW picket line this week
United Auto Workers members and supporters picket outside a General Motors facility in Langhorne, Pa., Friday, Sept. 22, 2023.
US PRESIDENT Joe Biden will travel to Michigan on Tuesday to join a United Auto Worker (UAW) picket line in a display of support for the union’s strike against the big three car manufacturers: Ford, GM and Stellantis.
Mr Biden has accepted an invitation by UAW president Shawn Fain to join the strikers as the union ratchets up its campaign.
“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,” Mr Biden said.
