US EditionBiden sending aides to Detroit to address autoworkers strike, says ‘record profits’ should be shared
- US President Joe Biden has expressed his support for workers in a pay dispute with major car companies, stating that the workers have not received a fair share of the record profits made by these companies. The strikes pose a challenge to Biden's re-election momentum, as he has emphasized his support for unions and the revival of US manufacturing.
- The United Auto Workers union and the car companies are in disagreement over new labor agreements, with the union seeking a 40% pay rise over four years, while the companies have offered around 20%. Biden has reached out to both sides and will send administration officials to join the negotiations.
- The strikes could potentially result in higher car prices and major disruption for the companies. This situation presents a test for Biden's leadership on economic issues, as he aims to convince voters of his commitment to workers' interests. Biden's history with labor unions has been mixed, and the UAW's endorsement of his re-election campaign remains uncertain.
