UAW president who endorsed Biden, Harris for president says it's time to work with Trump

"Donald Trump took advantage of this bipartisan betrayal in 2016, speaking to workers' anger and disillusionment," Fain wrote in his op-ed, headlined, "I'm president of the UAW. We're ready to work with Trump." 

"He promised to fix the system, but his renegotiated NAFTA, known as the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), didn't solve the problem," Fain continued. "Since it passed, the U.S. trade deficit with Mexico has only increased, and thousands of blue-collar jobs have continued to leave the country."

"And the leader of the United Auto Workers should be fired immediately," Trump said in July 2024. "And every single autoworker, union and non-union, should be voting for Donald Trump because we're going to bring back car manufacturing, and we're going to bring it back fast."

Fain argued that despite policy disagreements with Trump, he hopes to "find common ground on overhauling our devastating trade policies and rebuilding U.S. manufacturing."
