President Joe Biden on Friday said he will visit Michigan next week to support strikes by the United Auto Workers.
Biden sided with the autoworkers on Sept. 15 when the UAW initially targeted three key plants in Michigan, Missouri and Ohio.
Record profits at Ford, General Motors and Stellantis “have not been shared fairly, in my view, with the workers,” Biden said during a brief address.
The strike has since expanded with Fain making good on his promise to target additional plants if progress was not made in negotiations with the automakers.
