President Joe Biden is being tested by a historic labor union strike as he tries to underscore his economic credentials before next year's elections.
But the United Auto Workers strike, organized by a group that has criticized Biden in the past, presents more challenges than opportunities for the president as Democrats struggle with blue-collar voters.
"The switch to electric vehicles is a long-run concern for autoworkers," Madland said."They want to ensure that they can still have the good kinds of jobs that they and their predecessors have fought for in this new and emerging industry." Meanwhile, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has excoriated Biden for being responsible for encouraging the UAW strike, which started Friday morning with 12,700 autoworkers at three factories in Michigan, Ohio, and Missouri. The UAW has about 150,000 members, many of whom live in the battleground state of Michigan, which Trump won in 2016 by 11,000 votes before losing it in 2020 by 155,000 votes.
"Neither side is going to get everything they want, but the hope is that both sides give a little and you lead to a compromise that ends up working for both parties," Madland said."This is quite important for him because the president has made clear that he wants to be the most pro-union president ever, and I think part of his legacy will be about how this strike is resolved."
