WASHINGTON (Reuters) -United Auto Workers (UAW) President Shawn Fain said the Detroit-based union is not yet endorsing President Joe Biden for a second term, citing concerns about electric vehicle policies.<\/p>\n

In a letter to members seen by Reuters on Wednesday, Fain noted several national unions were quick to endorse Biden but the UAW is not yet doing so. <\/p>\n

“The federal government is pouring billions into the electric vehicle transition, with no strings attached and no commitment to workers. The EV transition is at serious risk of becoming a race to the bottom. We want to see national leadership have our back on this before we make any commitments,” Fain said.<\/p>\n

Biden’s campaign did not immediately comment.<\/p>\n

The new UAW president was in Washington last week and met with White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients and many lawmakers. <\/p>\n

Fain and U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders on Thursday criticized a General Motors (NYSE:) joint venture battery plant for paying workers much less than assembly plant employees even though it benefits from hefty U.S. government tax credits.<\/p>\n

Workers at the Warren, Ohio, joint venture Ultium Cells plant near Lordstown start at $16.50 an hour rising to $20 an hour after seven years while union workers at a nearby Ohio GM assembly plant that closed in 2019 made $32 an hour or more.<\/p>\n

“The situation at Lordstown, and the current state of the EV transition, is unacceptable. We expect action from <\/p>\n

the people in power to make it right,” Fain said.<\/p>\n

Fain said the Ultium plant at full production will receive more than $1.2 billion a year in U.S. battery production tax credits.<\/p>\n

The letter noted that the UAW will enter contract talks on behalf of 150,000 workers at General Motors, Ford Motor (NYSE:) and Chrysler-parent Stellantis. Fain said the Detroit Three “are making record profits while workers get left behind. We\u2019ll stand with whoever stands with our members in that fight.”<\/p>\n

Fain said the union will be “ready to talk politics once we secure a future for this industry and the workers who make it run.” He said “another Donald Trump presidency would be a disaster. But our members need to see an alternative that delivers real results.”<\/p>\n

GM opened with partner LG Energy Solution the Ultium battery manufacturing plant in August 2022 in Ohio; the pair are building two other JV battery plants in Michigan and Tennessee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
