United Auto Workers (UAW) President Shawn Fain took a swipe at former President Trump, saying he serves a “billionaire class,” a day ahead of Trump’s visit to Detroit where he will speak to union workers.
When asked on CNN about the former president’s trip to Detroit, Fain said, “I see no point in meeting with him because I don’t think the man has any bit of care about what our workers stand for, what the working class stands for.”
“He serves a billionaire class and that’s what’s wrong this country,” Fain continued.
Trump is expected to travel to Detroit on Wednesday, where he will meet with current and former union workers amid their ongoing strike against the “Big Three” automakers — Ford, General Motors and Stellantis.
Fain said it is “pathetic irony” Trump will reportedly hold a rally at a non-union plant in Macomb County, Mich.
When the strike is over, Shawn Fain should run for office.
The media barrons would evicserate him like they did Jeremy Corbyn.
Seriously. Heard a PBS interview with him yesterday. Sounded like he was being interviewed by fox news.
Union leaders can be powerful too. Let the man play the instrument he knows.
He has an unfortunate name:

Only Irish-IDing people will even get it, and most American Irish-IDing people won’t have a problem with that.
The first time I heard it spoken on the radio, I had the very same thought.
