RUSH EXCERPT: FORBES: "Well, where it is heading is we have an election year coming up and UAW figures this is the time to maximize maximum pressure. They have not formally yet endorsed President Biden but this kind of labor strike we're going to see more and more in the rest of the country because of the inflation of the last 2.5 to 3 years, 20%. Anytime you get those kind of price rises, there is pressure for strikes and catch-up pay. So that’s what you are going to see here. But also, the president came weighed in today precisely because he needs their endorsement and the union figure they’re going to get a much better settlement with him coming off the fence like he did today."
