Great job there Shawn Fain in supporting your workers by supporting Trump’s tariffs.

    They’re not too far away, either. Mack Trucks just announced layoffs in one of their production facilities and blamed the tariffs.

    I used to think Fain was a good guy, but now I’m thinking he’s an idiot. That article quotes him from social media saying:

    he UAW supports aggressive tariff action to protect American manufacturing jobs as a good first step to undoing decades of anti-worker trade policy

    and

    Trump’s anti-worker policy at home, including dissolving collective bargaining agreements and gutting the National Labor Relations Board, leaves American workers facing worsening wages and working conditions even while the administration takes aggressive tariff action.

    Tariffs are a big part of the problem you twit! Tariffs will raise prices on manufacturing which will raise prices on cars. That will reduce demand for new cars causing layoffs. This is not rocket science man. Think it through. Tariffs are anti-worker.
