…The #UAW's international executive board on July 31 endorsed MVP #KamalaHarris. Since then, UAW President #ShawnFain has stepped up his familiar role as a top booster for the Democratic ticket & a Trump opponent.
"When we say Donald Trump is a #scab, this is what we mean. When we say Trump stands against everything our #union stands for, this is what we mean," Fain said.
The #UAW specifically cited comments from #Trump during an exchange about government efficiency & spending of #taxpayer dollars.
"You're the greatest cutter," Trump said, referencing #Musk's history of firing staff across his businesses. "I mean, I look at what you do. You walk in, you just say, want to quit? They go on #strike. I won't mention the name of the company, but they go on strike. & you say, that's OK. You're all gone. You're all gone. So every one of you is gone."
