President Biden plans Michigan trip to support UAW workers as strike expands to 20 states
foxbusiness.com'Making Money' host Charles Payne discusses the impact of the expansion of the UAW strikes.
President Biden will be visiting Michigan on Tuesday to support United Auto Workers union members on strike.
Little details have been released regarding the upcoming Sept. 26 trip, but Biden posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, that he'll join the picket line with UAW workers.
«Tuesday, I’ll go to Michigan to join the picket line and stand in solidarity with the men and women of UAW as they fight for a fair share of the value they helped create,» Biden said. «It’s time for a win-win agreement that keeps American auto manufacturing thriving with well-paid UAW jobs.»
Biden's announcement comes as the UAW union on Friday expanded its strike against the Big Three Detroit automakers.

Workers walked out of 38 parts-distribution centers operated by General Motors and Jeep and Ram owner Stellantis in 20 states.
Ford has met some of the union's demands and avoided more strikes, UAW President Shawn Fain said during a presentation to members.
«We’ve made some real progress at Ford,» Fain said. «We still have serious issues to work through, but we do want to recognize that Ford is showing that they are serious about reaching a deal. At GM and Stellantis, it’s a different story.»
