    He needs to address the fact that all the green energy stimulus going to EVs has gone to non-union plants and rectify the situation immediately. That has been a huge blow to UAW.

    Rank and file stand on a picket line because withholding their labor is their political power. Biden has power to put forth policy to improve working people's lives, standing on a picket line without action is just a photo op.
