The Detroit Free Press reported, The Detroit Three are offering to bus workers from auto plants across southeast Michigan to President Donald Trumps rally in Ypsilanti on Wednesday a move that is drawing criticism from at least two union officials who say the president doesnt really support American workers, and that they dont want UAW members to become political props. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and General Motors told workers they will transport them to and from Trumps rally, provide lunch and cover their pay for the day if they miss a shift at their plant. Ford will do the same, but will not cover their pay.
Trump is an anti-union president. The Trumpcare plan would be horrible for autoworkers. Trump keeps talking about building plants and creating manufacturing jobs, but he never discusses pay and benefits. Trump tried to appoint an enemy of labor to be Labor Secretary.
This is not a president who will fight for the rights of workers. Trumps Michigan speech itself was a rehash of the 2016 election and empty promises.
