The leader of the United Auto Workers union on Thursday pushed back on President Joe Biden’s remarks last weekend dismissing the possibility of a looming strike against Detroit automakers as contract negotiations remain at a stalemate.
In an interview on “Morning Joe,” UAW President Shawn Fain was asked to respond to Biden’s remarks on Labor Day when asked if he was worried about a UAW strike. Biden said: “No, I’m not worried about a strike until it happens.”
Fain said the union’s intent is to reach an agreement with automakers.
