President Joe Biden made history on Tuesday when he became the first sitting president to join a picket line, visiting striking United Auto Workers members outside a General Motors parts distribution center in Belleville, Michigan. UAW President Shawn Fain thanked Biden for his support and expressed his disappointment in former President Donald Trump, while encouraging the striking workers to “stick with it”. Biden spoke to the workers through a megaphone, telling them that he was “proud to stand with you” and that he was “fighting to make sure you get the fair wages and benefits you deserve.” The visit is a major show of support for the workers and a sign that the Biden administration is committed to protecting their rights.
