President Joe Biden will travel to Michigan on Tuesday and walk the picket line with members of the United Auto Workers union, he announced Friday, a trip that comes after the president faced political pressure to ramp up his public support for the union members.

“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. It’s time for a win-win agreement that keeps American auto manufacturing thriving with well-paid UAW jobs,” Biden said in a post to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

Seriously .....He has no idea where he is at ....They probably told him it was the line to the ice cream store.

On a lighter note: I remember when my nose went on strike ....and a bunch of people came to picket.

And if he didn’t go?
How would have that “story” gone?

Biden Ignores Blue-collar Workers!

That’s how.

Hopefully such a magnanimous gesture on Biden's part, will make it sting less for them when he raises their taxes and inflation continues to rise.

Inflation has been on the decline....

WASHINGTON (AP) — Over the past year, inflation in the United States has tumbled from 9% all the way to 3%, softening most of the price pressures that have gripped the nation for more than two years.

US inflation has steadily cooled. Getting it down to the Fed's target rate will be the toughest mile

I must be seeing it through the subjectivity of the things I buy on a regular basis continually going up in price.

Yes, you must be confusing inflation with corporate greed.

Prices going up just means inflation is > 0%. So unless you have some sort of detailed analysis of how quickly prices are increasing, your anecdote is consistent with the article you're quoting.

There is absolutely nothing that Biden could or could not do that people here wouldn't post as evidence of something. I guess that's what happens when half the country believes in an alternate reality where you 'stole' the election by...being voted in. Ugh. Being the president must be a terrible job. Anyone who wants to do it should be institutionalized, as that's clearly evidence of madness.

I like presidents who stand with blue collar workers. Not ones who poop into golden toilets and live at country club.

Inflation after rising rampantly eventually went down; I thank God for that. Democrud policies had no bearing on it and there are impacts of risen cost that will never recover. For ex. Dollar Tree stores can no longer sell items for $1.

US economy is doing better than most other major economies after the covid disruption. Biden did keep the stimulus payments going a bit too long. But those were a very bi partisan policy. All in all Biden and Trump are not that different economically. They really differ in other areas tho.

Thank God that God decided to favor the policies of Biden instead of the other G7 nations and reduced inflation in the US at a faster rate.

Really?

The new UAW president, Shawn Fain, ran on a promise to demand a rollback of the 2007 concessions in this summer’s contract negotiations. He wants a cap on temporary workers, pay increases of more than 40% to match the salary increases of the CEOs, a 32-hour workweek, cost of living adjustments, and an elimination of the tier system.

Fain said. “[W]e are all fed up of living in a world that values profits over people. We’re all fed up with seeing the rich get richer while the rest of us continue to just scrape by. We’re all fed up with corporate greed. And together, we’re going to fight to change it.”

...so I am curious how Trump will spin his visit (the day after Biden). His prior actions are certainly not pro-labor.

Trump recently attacked Fain, saying “The autoworkers are being sold down the river by their leadership, and their leadership should endorse Trump.” Autoworkers note that Trump and the justices he put on the Supreme Court have been anti-union, and that he packed the National Labor Relations Board, which oversees labor laws and union elections, with officials who reduced the power of workers to organize. Before he left office, Trump tried to burrow ten anti-labor activists into the Federal Service Impasses Panel, the panel in charge of resolving disputes between unions and federal agencies when they cannot resolve issues in negotiations.

Two major stories today seem to bring together both the past and the future of the country to chart a way forward. The first involves a historic workers’ strike. A week ago, on Friday, September 15, after workers’ four-year contracts expired, the United Auto Workers union declared a limited and...
