United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain says there’s a clear choice when it comes to supporting the working class

In a final political push the United Auto Workers union is rallying behind Vice President Kamala Harris.

UAW President Shawn Fain says both parties support too much money in politics, but says there’s a clear choice when it comes to supporting the working class:

“Every time legislation is put forward to benefit unions or working class people, it's almost always a straight party line vote. The Republicans vote against us every single time, and the Democrats vote with us, even if it takes a fight sometimes”

Fain says polling done by the UAW shows support moving away from former President Donald Trump and toward Harris.

Meanwhile, Stellantis has halted production of the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango at factories in Detroit until Friday because of slow sales, leading to temporary layoffs.
