United Auto Workers president Shawn Fain said Tuesday that he won't meet with former President Trump during his upcoming visit to Detroit.
Driving the news: "I don't think the man has any bit of care about what our workers stand for, what the working class stands for," he told CNN.
Smart move, Trump's word is worthless and any concessions he might agree to give to unions aren't worth a damn. He's always been happy to fuck over workers for the leisure class.
He doesn’t pay his own fucking lawyers. And in case anyone was in a coma from 2016-2020, Trump did absolutely fuck-all to help union workers - or just non-rich people in general - unless it also happened to personally benefit him.
Worse, his idiotic tariffs hurt auto workers https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1242695
Exactly. He'll say what they want to hear with that shit-eating grin on his face. Promising them pennies while thry give him dollars.
The guy clearly understands the actual problems in this country, can we just make him US president?
Can we give him his own reality show first then he will qualify without a political background. He needs Real World experience first.
i bet he's too smart to run; trump would have been better off if he hadn't run; and we'd all be better off and biden hadn't either.
Biden was perfect for 2020. An experienced, responsible, and evolving adult that isn’t radical to scare off centrists or some republicans who actually is pushing us forward.

A good decision from the UAW president here.
He has always been on the side of American workers and will do everything in his power to be their voice as Crooked Joe Biden and Democrats are on the side of our foreign adversaries
From a trump spokesperson. Way to deflect to a something completely different and not explain exactly how he is "on the side of American workers".
While the UAW president won't meet and support Trump doesn't mean the union workers will follow suit.
Which is fine. If you haven’t figured it out yet since 2016 it’s been very obvious that there are a lot of idiots living in this country.
It depends on the outcome of the strike. If Fain leads the union to major gains for members and then says Trump is bad for the union that holds a lot of weight and could be enough to sway the couple thousand voters in swing states away from Trump. Remember 2020 was decided by around 40k votes in 5 states.
Exactly, one way to change people’s minds is to give them the results they need while being clear about where it comes from. You won’t out promise trump, he got Ohio by swearing up and down he was sympathetic to our steel and coal workers. He swore miracles. Fain is helping our auto workers take what they deserve, what they need. When the food on your table and the roof above your head are there thanks to the union and they make sure you understand that then you aren’t looking for some gold covered businessman from the coast to convince you he understands and will hurt the right people for you and in doing so work miracles.
I think a lot of folks have already written off a lot of places that are traditionally won or lost politically on union power. Strong union gains might even bring cracks in how heavily stacked some former swing states are.
And it helps down ballot especially with how Trumpy the GOP is it could swing a couple lean R or toss up races. This is actually a really big deal.
You know what, fuck it.
I wont meet with Trump either.
I also ain't gonna play Sun City.
Shawn Fain is the greatest
Real men are taking over.
Trump is the pussiest scab.
Fuck yeah
Come-on guys, don't you want to Make American Cars Great Again.
Or want America to Make Cars Again, great?
