The UAW leader, Shawn Fain, expressed concerns about the administration&#8217;s electric vehicle push, stating that not enough has been done to address the union&#8217;s worries.<\/p>\n<h3>UAW&#8217;s Concerns About the EV Transition<\/h3>\n<p>Fain wrote in an internal memo to members that the federal government is pouring billions into the electric vehicle transition, with no commitment to workers. He added that the EV transition is at serious risk of becoming a race to the bottom. Union leaders brought these concerns to Biden administration officials during a meeting in Washington last week, highlighting how the transition is affecting members&#8217; lives, including plant closures and idlings that uproot workers&#8217; families and communities.<\/p>\n<h3>Biden&#8217;s Climate Change Moves and the UAW&#8217;s Political Support<\/h3>\n<p>The memo underscores how some of Mr. Biden&#8217;s boldest moves to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bidens-concerning-foreign-policy\/\" title=\"Biden\u2019s Concerning Foreign Policy\">fight climate change<\/a>, which animate his liberal base, could at the same time weaken his political support among another crucial constituency. The U.A.W. has shrunk in size in recent decades, but it still counts about 400,000 active members, with a robust presence in Michigan, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/u-s-superior-court-orders-maricopa-county-ariz-to-turn-over-2-1m-ballots-from-nov-election\/\" title=\"U.S. Superior Court orders Maricopa County Ariz. to turn over 2.1M ballots from Nov. election\">critical battleground state<\/a> for Democrats.<\/p>\n<h3>The Costs of Enacting Biden&#8217;s Climate Regulations<\/h3>\n<p>In April, the Biden administration proposed the nation&#8217;s most ambitious climate regulations yet, which would ensure that two-thirds of new passenger cars are all-electric by 2032. The rules, if enacted, could <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/united-auto-workers-withholding-biden-reelection-endorsement\/\" title=\"UAW not endorsing Biden for reelection.\">sharply lower planet-warming pollution<\/a> from vehicle tailpipes, the nation&#8217;s largest source of greenhouse emissions. However, they come with costs for autoworkers, as it takes fewer than half the laborers to assemble an all-electric vehicle as it does to build a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bidens-energy-secretary-on-gas-crisis-if-you-drove-an-electric-car-this-would-not-be-affecting-you\/\" title=\"Biden\u2019s Energy Secretary On Gas Crisis: If You Drove an Electric Car, \u2018This Would Not Be Affecting You\u2019\">gasoline-powered car<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>UAW&#8217;s Stance on Endorsing Biden<\/h3>\n<p>While Fain was clear that the UAW would not endorse former President Trump should he become the GOP nominee, he said that the union is not yet making an endorsement of Biden. Fain provided &#8220;talking points&#8221; for members about why the union was not immediately lining up behind Mr. Biden, writing that if companies received federal subsidies, then workers &#8220;must be compensated with top wages and benefits.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to the New York Times, Biden quickly picked up endorsements from other unions, including the Amalgamated Transit Union, the Service Employees International Union, and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, after making his reelection announcement. However, the UAW is still waiting to see an alternative that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/progressive-democrats-putting-pressure-on-moderates-to-back-liberal-agenda\/\" title=\"Progressive Democrats putting pressure on moderates to back liberal agenda\">delivers real results<\/a> and a pro-worker, pro-climate, and pro-democracy political program that can deliver for the working class.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A week after President Biden announced his reelection bid, a major union is on the fence about giving him its endorsement just yet.The leader of the United Auto Workers union says not enough has been done thus far to address concerns over the administration\u2019s electric vehicle push. \u201cThe federal government is pouring billions into the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1926032,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[547],"tags":[3620,8965,8313,25982],"class_list":["post-1926031","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-bongino-report","tag-biden","tag-endorsing","tag-reelection","tag-uaw"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1926031","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1926031"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1926031\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1926032"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1926031"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1926031"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1926031"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
