The UAW threatened to strike against major automakers in the U.S. in response to President Biden's statements about big labor. The union claimed that most of the workers at Ford, GM, and Stellantis had authorized a strike if the negotiations do not reach a satisfactory agreement.
For several weeks, the UAW has been negotiating with the automakers, seeking higher pay, better job security, and pension benefits. The union's contract with the industry expires on September 14, so the strike deadline looms large.

Despite the support shown by President Biden for the UAW, the union isn't happy with his push for the transition to electric cars. The union is worried about how the administration's focus on EVs will affect its members. Shawn Fain, the UAW's president, said that the government should step in and support the union during the negotiations.
It could be very awkward for Democrats, especially those who are still supporting the radical left, due to the situation. Both the union and the Democrats are under pressure to reach a deal before the strike deadline. Conservatives can watch the drama unfold and decide whether they should support the UAW or push for green policies.
