United Auto Workers (UAW) President Shawn Fain took a swipe at former President Trump, saying he serves a ābillionaire class,ā a day ahead of Trumpās visit to Detroit where he will speak to union workers.
When asked on CNN about the former presidentās trip to Detroit, Fain said, āI see no point in meeting with him because I donāt think the man has any bit of care about what our workers stand for, what the working class stands for.ā
āHe serves a billionaire class and thatās whatās wrong this country,ā Fain continued.
Trump is expected to travel to Detroit on Wednesday, where he will meet with current and former union workers amid their ongoing strike against the āBig Threeā automakers ā Ford, General Motors and Stellantis.
Fain said it is āpathetic ironyā Trump will reportedly hold a rally at a non-union plant in Macomb County, Mich.
Union leaders can be powerful too. Let the man play the instrument he knows.
