Looks like they're getting what they endorsed and encouraged their membership to vote for. Why would they be upset?

Detroit – The UAW International Board Tuesday announced the influential unions’ endorsement of former Vice President Joe Biden for President of the United States. “In these dangerous and difficult times, the country needs a president who will demonstrate clear, stable leadership, less partisan acrimony and more balance to the rights and protections of working Americans,” said Rory Gamble, President of the UAW. “UAW Members need a federal government that ensures that members have both a good job to go to, and that they come home to their families at night having earned a fair day’s wage in a safe and secure place.”



The irony in this statement is comical.

The bosses were probably well paid for supporting Biden.

The Union gets money for “getting out the vote” and they can skim it to pay fat salaries.

But there are other ways to bribe people. Big paychecks for no work jobs.

Yep. The union heads got their cash. They don't care what happens next. It's just one extortion to the next.

So they want a “wall” to keep production inside the US even though they are making it more expensive to do so when compared to the Mexican alternative?

Interesting.

Yep. They can all starve to death for all I care. Their union endorsed a dementia patient that couldn’t care less about US jobs for POTUS over someone with an America First and job creating platform and record. frick them. Enjoy the soup lines.

And this is why you shouldn't feel one whit of guilt about buying foreign auto brands. If "American" car companies won't make cars in the United States, why NOT buy a foreign brand?

Maybe the Mexican workers can go on strike in solidarity.
