United Auto Workers (UAW) President Shawn Fain took a swipe at former President Trump, saying he serves a “billionaire class,” a day ahead of Trump’s visit to Detroit where he will speak to union workers.
When asked on CNN about the former president’s trip to Detroit, Fain said, “I see no point in meeting with him because I don’t think the man has any bit of care about what our workers stand for, what the working class stands for.”
“He serves a billionaire class and that’s what’s wrong this country,” Fain continued.
Trump is expected to travel to Detroit on Wednesday, where he will meet with current and former union workers amid their ongoing strike against the “Big Three” automakers — Ford, General Motors and Stellantis.
Fain said it is “pathetic irony” Trump will reportedly hold a rally at a non-union plant in Macomb County, Mich.

The Midas touch of cloth
Trump is infamous about not paying people/workers. Trump is not with workers.
When the strike is over, Shawn Fain should run for office.
The media barrons would evicserate him like they did Jeremy Corbyn.
Seriously. Heard a PBS interview with him yesterday. Sounded like he was being interviewed by fox news.
Union leaders can be powerful too. Let the man play the instrument he knows.
He has an unfortunate name:
The first time I heard it spoken on the radio, I had the very same thought.
Only Irish-IDing people will even get it, and most American Irish-IDing people won’t have a problem with that.
I think Trump is speaking to non-union workers today. The shop he is going to is a non-union shop owned by a supporter.
Pathetic irony indeed. Logical thinking would demand he’d be booed off the podium. - But by now I’m also a strong believer in the incredible stupidity of Americans… so not sure what will happen.
The brain drain is going to be real if he wins again.
Partly from emigration, partly from the, you know, fascism.
this is true and it relates to this topic because multiple studies have shown that unions don’t survive if brown people make up too big of a percentage of the workers; so if you’re going to talk to a union and you see more white faces than any other, you now know to whom you’re talking to and can start to understand why trump will always have an audience with union members despite trump himself being anti-union.
“Works for”? He’s IN the billionaire class*.
*Depending on real estate value and debt.
He’s worth zero after that new York verdict.
Trump is not for the workers. I understand why he is saying this.
He’s not just fain-ing disinterest. He really means it…

This is outrageous. Trump has done nothing but supported unions and workers rights. That’s why I dare anyone to prove to me that I’m wrong. He only works with the most progressive countries like Saudi Arabia, China, and Russia.
Hey that’s not fair. If any of these union bozos can slip him more cash under the table than the aforementioned three, he’d be happy to work with them for now.
So you are saying we should start an NFT fake university beauty pageant and pay Trump off for his support? I don’t know if he would go for it.
Fuck yeah, call them ouf Mr Fain!
He say: “I know what I want, and I want it now”

Because most newspapers and websites don’t use editors anymore. They’re written and published directly from the writers themselves at home.

That typo I thought was kind of funny. Unfortunately not a day goes by where I don’t see a typo like that somewhere. The worst are when they are in the headline.
Please put these hard hats and reflective vests on, ya know just because, trump says to the factory owners he’s planning to meet with
Incredibly based UAW president
The billionaire mafia abclass
This is the best summary I could come up with:
United Auto Workers (UAW) President Shawn Fain took a swipe at former President Trump, saying he serves a “billionaire class,” a day ahead of Trump’s visit to Detroit where he will speak to union workers.
Trump is expected to travel to Detroit on Wednesday, where he will meet with current and former union workers amid their ongoing strike against the “Big Three” automakers — Ford, General Motors and Stellantis.
Fain said it is “pathetic irony” Trump will reportedly hold a rally at a non-union plant in Macomb County, Mich.
The president spoke to a group at a General Motors facility in Belleville, Mich., alongside Fain, who has yet to endorse Biden’s reelection bid, citing concerns over the Biden administration’s push for electric vehicles (EVs), which put autoworkers’ jobs at risk.
UAW began its historic strike against the automakers nearly two weeks ago after ongoing negotiations failed and the workers’ contracts expired.
The union is asking for wage increases, cost-of-living pay raises, a 32-hour work week with 40 hours of pay, union representation at new battery plants, restoration of traditional-defined benefit pensions for new hires who currently receive only 401(k)-style retirement plans, and pension increases for retirees.
