Auto Union Holds Off Biden Endorsement Over Concerns About Electric Vehicle Transition

The United Auto Workers union plans to wait before endorsing President Biden for re-election due to concerns over policies promoting electric vehicles.
The union wants assurances that the transition to EVs will support auto workers before backing Biden's campaign.
The UAW criticized a General Motors joint venture battery plant for paying much lower wages than a nearby assembly plant that closed.
The UAW will begin contract talks with GM, Ford and Stellantis and wants to secure workers' future before discussing politics.
While not yet endorsing Biden, the UAW has no plans to back his likely Republican opponent, former President Donald Trump.
