The union boss wore a shirt labeling former President Trump a 'scab,' a term for workers who cross picket lines during a strike.
United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain called Kamala Harris a 'fighter' for the working class and denounced former President Donald Trump as a 'scab,' a term that applies to workers who cross picket lines and defy union actions, during his speech at the Democratic National Convention on Monday.'It's getting hot in here, folks,' Fain said, referencing a song by the rapper Nelly, before removing his suit jacket to show a T-shirt that read 'Trump is a scab.
The UAW quickly condemned these statements, asserting that they violate federal labor laws that protect workers' rights to strike without fear of retaliation.'When we call Donald Trump a scab, this is what we mean,' the UAW posted on X, accusing the Republican of betraying the very workers he claims to support.
