Only a few weeks ago, Republicans, pro-business groups and some pundits chided the United Auto Workers for being greedy in their contract demands. They criticized President Biden for walking a picket line with workers. However, with the announcement on Wednesday of a tentative agreement on a generous new contract between Ford and the UAW (followed by word that the UAW was closing in on deals with two other companies), the union’s leadership will reap credit for aggressive bargaining and targeting excessive CEO salaries. Biden will get kudos for helping working Americans maximize earnings.
