Trump is no scab - he’d never walk across a picket line.

Drive across in a golf cart, however…

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Fain said Biden had earned the nod with his pro-union policies and went on to excoriate former President Donald Trump, the frontrunner in the Republican race, for his past actions and statements.

Fain showed a highlight reel of Biden walking the picket line outside a General Motors facility in Wayne, Mich., the first time in modern history that a sitting president had done that.

He contrasted Biden’s actions with what Trump did during a 40-day strike in 2019, displaying a blank slide to the ballroom of cheering union members.

In the 2016 election, Trump won Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, in part with a message to workers hurt by free trade agreements.

While other major U.S. unions were quick to endorse his campaign last year, the UAW — which represents nearly 400,000 members — held back.

Then came the UAW’s six-week strike last year with the Big Three automakers, and Biden’s full-throated support for the union.

The original article contains 524 words, the summary contains 155 words. Saved 70%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

Union organization support of a party or candidate usually doesn’t mean anything.

Here in Canada I’m with the NDP and I’ve gone to a few party conventions… my early ones I met lots of great people but they also taught me a bitter truth.

Union people are often easily manipulated and are fairly narrow with their views.

Even when their entire organization shows support for the NDP, the members will often vote for conservative or liberal and never NDP.

-and another union foolishly ties itself to a sinking ship. I guess even “militant” unionists still can’t think outside the ballot box. Disappointing, but unsurprising.
