The powerful United Auto Workers (UAW) formally endorsed Joe Biden’s re-election campaign on Wednesday at the union’s national community action program conference in Washington DC.

Both the US president and rival Donald Trump have courted the union and supported its successful strike action against the US’s big three automakers last year. Biden became the first president to walk a picket line in support of the union.

“Joe Biden bet on the American worker while Donald Trump blamed the American worker,” UAW president, Shawn Fain told the conference. “If our endorsement must be earned, Joe Biden has earned it.

“Donald Trump is a scab. Donald Trump is a billionaire and that’s who he represents,” Fain said. “This election is about who will stand up with us and who will stand in our way.”

    Come on, faux news, three years ago, allegations from one person, for things they didn’t witness, against one doctor. The article also includes denials and announces an investigation- so where did the investigation go? Were there any other journalistic updates? Was this “whistleblower” status real?

    And the article finishes with the flourish that this is like eugenics legislation and mass sterilization? How far from left field did they pull that one.

    Most definitely I hope there was a thorough investigation, and journalists keeping them on their toes, and if this one doctor did things against informed consent of his patience, by all means, justice should prevail, but that’s do reason to jump off the cliff

      The Guardian reported in 22 on what came out of the investigation.

      I would love for this to be false and one nutso nurse, please send me something credible suggesting it’s wrong, if you can. It’s fucking sickening to imagine it’s true, so I’m very happy to change my mind if there’s evidence supporting it.

        Thanks for the follow up, it does look like something horrible happened. This follow up is much more informative than the three year old allegations, and skips the hyperbole of comparing it to eugenics. I would love to be able to call it false but it looks like at least better reporting, plus the investigation did go somewhere, even if it only ended the contract
