President Joe Biden, who prides himself on his support for unions, has little say in whether major autoworkers strike and for how long, with competing policy objectives and a lack of jurisdiction being his main obstacles.
The United Auto Workers (UAW) laid out their plan for a targeted strike on Wednesday, after negotiations with the Big Three automakers — Ford, Stellantis and General Motors — have yet to produce a new contract for their 150,000 unionized workers, with the current contract expiring Thursday. Biden’s commitment to increasing domestic electric vehicle manufacturing runs contrary to union goals to maintain job security, while the president also lacks the legal authority to step in like he was able to do in last year’s rail negotiations.
