Michigan union members blame Biden electric-vehicle mandates for auto-industry layoffs: ‘Want to slit our throats’

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — The auto industry is big business in Michigan, and a major round of layoffs is revving the election into high gear for industry workers in the critical swing state — who blame the Biden-Harris administration’s heavy-handed electric-vehicle mandates for the painful job losses.
Stellantis, which manufactures Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge vehicles, announced last month it will lay off 2,450 workers at its Warren plant. While industry jobs in the state have been declining since 1990, Michigan autoworkers explained to The Post why Team Biden’s green-energy rules are at fault this time.
United Auto Workers member Isaiah Gordon, 24, works on hybrid batteries at Ford’s Rawsonville plant and said the forced transition to electric vehicles is damaging the industry.

So this is how Kamala plans to support the middle class? It doesn't really matter they are losing their jobs, being good Detroit union toadies they'll vote democrat anyway. *****rollingeyes*****

The recent Teamsters survey that showed most members prefer Trump led me to wonder what the numbers are among UAW and USW membership. Biden/Harris policies are horrendous for auto workers and steelworkers, too (and USW represents a lot of workers not specifically in the steel industries).

Biden’s first act as president was to put 1000 Union pipeline workers out of work.

I believe the number of pipeline workers you are looking for is eleven thousand, not one thousand.
