One of the nation’s largest business organizations on Friday squarely blamed President Biden for the historic strike by members of the United Auto Workers union, which is the first time its members walked out simultaneously on all three major Detroit automakers.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce said the strike and its fallout were caused by Mr. Biden who has encouraged unions to flex their muscle, even if it threatens to upend the U.S. economy.
Stellantis is an Italian-American conglomerate that also owns Fiat, Chrysler, Dodge, RAM, Peugeot, Citroën and Alfa Romeo. That forces Mr. Biden to walk a fine line. He cannot break his support for unions because he’s dependent on them for his reelection in 2024. However, he also can’t risk further economic havoc at a time when the U.S. economy still hasn’t rebounded from the pandemic.
The UAW has criticized Mr. Biden’s push to transition from electric vehicles to gas-powered cars, which the union says will cost jobs.
