VAN BUREN TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — President Joe Biden has joined the United Auto Workers on the 12th day of their strike against major carmakers, a demonstration of support for organized labor apparently unparalleled in presidential history. It comes a day before former President Donald Trump makes his own visit to meet with striking UAW members. Biden has repeatedly sided with the UAW during their strike. Biden says the workers should participate in the carmakers’ riches “now that the industry is roaring back.”
