United Auto Workers union expected to endorse Biden
Biden became the first sitting president to join a picket line when he appeared with striking UAW workers last year.
I wonder if the nonunion workers who didn't get a raise (I assume) will endorse Trump
Non unions plants usually also have to give raises to stay competitive and not lose their workers. Unions benefit everyone.
That would be interesting to see that bit of data, because iirc, nonunion workers often receive incidental improvements because of union negotiations (at the same company).
This is the best summary I could come up with:
WASHINGTON — The United Auto Workers union is expected to endorse President Joe Biden as early as Wednesday, according to three people familiar with the decision.
Last fall, Biden became the first sitting president to join a picket line when he visited auto workers outside Detroit who were striking for higher wages and cost-of-living increases.
The UAW endorsement could carry significant political implications because of the influence on voters in Michigan, a critical battleground in the 2024 election.
Biden has long touted himself as the most pro-union American president but that message has fallen flat with some of those members who are concerned about immigration and trade, two big points Trump makes.
But a few have stayed on the sidelines so far, including the Teamsters, the American Postal Workers Union and the International Association of Fire Fighters.
UAW President Shawn Fain, as recently as Monday, had a message for political leaders seeking the union’s support.

I bet you the Railroad Unions aren't. He told them to get fucked and get back to work.
They actually got what they wanted with Biden's help.
Now this is some leopards ate my face
I'm with you--folks already forget what he did with the rail workers?
Endorsing Trump would be ridiculous, but how about the unions endorse no one--can that be a thing?
