Biden's obsession with EVs, and mandating that gas vehicles are not be sold in the near future, will likely put many auto workers out of work. Many fewer workers are needed to create an EV.

The UAW has brought its troubles upon itself.

The United Auto Workers (UAW) announced on Friday that it is expanding its major nationwide strike against the Big Three automakers. Negotiations have failed and 146,000 autoworkers continue to be without a contract; the union is demanding continuing benefits for up to two years in case of an indefinite layoff, which is a very real possibility in light of Old Joe Biden’s proposed electric vehicle mandate. The regime’s EV mandate would decimate the auto industry and eliminate as many as 117,000 jobs. And so is the UAW standing up and denouncing Biden? Come on, man! The UAW is zeroing in on the real problem here: Donald Trump.
About 13,000 UAW members are on strike now, and the Daily Caller
reported Friday that “more workers will go on strike as the union and automakers continue to be unable to reach a deal.” The UAW strike will now extend to “38 new plants across the U.S.”; this is a significant expansion, as “the UAW first
announced its partial strike on Sept. 14, striking at three plants: GM’s plant in Wentzville, Missouri; Ford’s plant in Wayne, Michigan; and Stellantis’ Jeep plant in Toledo, Ohio.”
UAW President Shawn Fain declared that “all of the parts distribution centers at General Motors and Stellantis will be called to stand up and strike. We will be striking 38 locations across 20 states, across all 9 regions of the UAW.” Ford is not included in the expansion of the strike because it has offered numerous concessions to the UAW, while General Motors and Stellantis have not. Ford’s offer includes “enhanced profit sharing and the conversion of temporary employees into full-time,” as well as “job security for up to two years in the event of an indefinite layoff.”
Now, why would the UAW be pushing for something like “job security for up to two years in the event of an indefinite layoff”? Is the union worried about indefinite layoffs? Clearly it is, and it has good reason to be. The America First Policy Institute
revealed last July that “proposed Biden Administration regulations would require Americans to switch to electric vehicles they do not want. Under the draft rules, auto manufacturers would be required to increase the proportion of electric vehicles they sell from 6% to 67% in less than a decade.”....
