The vast majority of our members are going to vote with their paychecks, and they're going to vote for an economy that works for them.they're going to vote for a president — if you look at these two presidents, the choice of who stands with the working class, who stands with the workers, who stands with the billionaire class, and that's his base. is very clear.

Fein's comments come as the UAW stands against Trump in his re-election bid this year, despite the White House's green energy policies that have decimated the U.S. auto industry with factory closures, outsourcing and the loss of millions of jobs. The election was held shortly after he announced his support for Biden.

I'm going to bring the jobs back. I'm going to bring auto manufacturing back to our country.”
“Tell your union leaders…tell them not to support the Democrats who are going to put you out of business,” Trump said. “You're going to lose your job.”
Mr. Trump's economic nationalist platform has made him a candidate for unions at a time when other Republican candidates have wasted opportunities to win over working and middle-class union households because of their unpopular, economic liberal positions. I've been fighting for votes.
