???????? Who did the Union just endorse for President? This is BS on Fain's part he knows DAMN well that a EV takes 30% less labor to produce, and that doesn't include how much of that is off loaded to Asia.

Not to mention even in the CARB states there is a disconnect between the regulatory and consumer.

I am not trying to insert politics in it but the difference between one side of the isle is clear on subject. ONE very much believes that there is a single solution to Climate change, and it is the forced adoption of EV vehicles.

The union didn't endorse Kamala, Shawn Fain is. I know a lot of people who are UAW members who are voting the other way.

Yes, in detail you are correct. But the same organization head is complaining about something HE endorsed.

You maybe right, but Shawn is the mouth piece for the UAW and when he speaks as president, he speaks for the UAW. Although he may support her, and most members will be voting MEGA, the public reading/watching the news see the UAW as backing her.

I don't know if it MAGA or just self-preservation. She is clearly on the Side of forced EV and public transport. Not only from a CARB state perspective but nationally, taking the choice away from people outside CARB states.

If your a UAW member and you're Not aware 30% less labor to build an EV..... Nearly the entire powertrain is offshored to Asia.

And the demand for EV is lower so it is double whammy. I guess you will have to "learn to code" or mix lathes ..... you are literally voting against your own job, and Fain is NOT representing your best interest.
