UAW Wants The EPA To Relax Its Future Vehicle Emissions Regulations

The United Auto Workers (UAW) union has recently called on the Biden administration to revise its proposed vehicle emissions cuts, which mandate that 67% of new vehicles be electric by 2032.

Yes because UAW jobs will be lost when powertrain is common across manufactures. Also volume will go down.

That might be true, after all one of the main purposes of a Union is to protect member jobs. The aside here is the total unattainable, unworkable and intellectually bankrupt policy being promoted by the current administration now in the strangle hold of environmental extremists. Europe is increasing facing this conclusion in its own environmental pipedream of tangled nonsense in its own backyard, walking away from their impossible environmental goals and the means to achieve them as fast as you can say nuclear power.
The unions can’t wait for the very predictable new administration taking over and scrapping these overreaching regulations, realizing that the damage now being done in chasing the ever more ridiculous and politicized clean energy goal posts of these radicals will do irreparable damage and waste billions in the process.
I believe clear thinkers no matter their political stripe are following the European lead and acting now before not only jobs are lost, but the entire automotive industry is sacrificed because courage is a rare commodity these days among the upper management types and the hard work is being left to Joe Lunchpail and his representatives. Unions have made their mistakes painfully in the past, but on this one they are the bright light dawning on a two and a half year nightmare misery of darkness and deception. Thank you UAW, your thinking is right this time. Very Right.

I think it was Ronald Reagan who said, "Any government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take it all away."
