UAW president: ‘Deplorable’ that Trump stripped union rights for federal workers (The Hill)

United Auto Workers (UAW) President Shawn Fain said it is “deplorable” that President Trump moved to strip union rights from federal workers.

Fain joined CBS News’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday, just after Trump signed an executive order limiting numerous federal agency employees from unionizing and telling the government it can’t participate in collective bargaining.

The UAW president celebrated Trump’s recent tariffs on car imports, noting that it would bring manufacturing and jobs back to the U.S. Fain’s embrace of Trump’s idea came just months after he campaigned against the president and worked with the Democratic Party on his striking workers’ picket line.

He was asked Sunday by host Major Garrett about what he finds more important: a president who walked the picket line or one who imposes tariffs.
