Shawn Fain of the United Auto Workers, Endorsing Biden, Calls Trump a ‘Scab’ and Warns of — Four Years Hence — a General Strike
‘If Donald Trump ever worked in an auto plant, he wouldn’t be a UAW member,’ the union chief says, ‘he’d be a company man trying to squeeze the American worker.’

Mr. Biden, who has often referred to himself as the “most pro-union president in history,” received the endorsement from the UAW months after appearing on a union picket line during their strike in the fall. The union had been withholding its endorsement in part due to its concerns about the administration’s push for more electrical vehicles.
