UAW Stands with Trump on Auto Tariffs

In a significant show of support, Shawn Fain, the head of the United Auto Workers (UAW) union, has publicly endorsed President Donald Trump's recent imposition of a 25% tariff on automobiles not manufactured in the United States. This move marks a pivotal moment in the administration's trade policy, aiming to protect domestic industries and workers.

Ending the Free Trade 'Disaster'

Fain described the decision as a necessary step to rectify the 'free trade disaster' that has long harmed working-class communities across the nation. 'Ending the race to the bottom in the auto industry starts with fixing our broken trade deals,' Fain emphasized, highlighting the historical significance of the administration's actions.

A Call for Comprehensive Worker Support

Beyond tariffs, Fain called for a robust National Labor Relations Board and safeguards for Social Security benefits and healthcare access through Medicare and Medicaid. The UAW leader expressed readiness to collaborate with any politician committed to reversing the decline of the working class during prosperous times.
