Statement by Tim Scott Responding to the United Auto Workers

"Joe Biden and Big Labor bosses are undermining the dignity of work and setting autoworkers up for failure. They're playing politics with people's lives." – Tim Scott 

CHARLESTON, SC — Today, Tim Scott released the following statement responding to the United Auto Workers (UAW) complaint, the union's "chaos" agenda, and Biden's weak leadership:

"American workers continue to witness how a weak president leads to all sorts of chaos at home and abroad.

"Joe Biden and Big Labor bosses are undermining the dignity of work and setting autoworkers up for failure. They're playing politics with people's lives.

"Biden's electric vehicle mandates are bad for workers. Whenever Democrats have to pick between elite environmentalists and American workers, they side against working people.

"Big Labor's wish list of a massive pay raise for a French-style work week would make the American auto industry less competitive, encourage outsourcing, and leave workers even more vulnerable to automation. It would put the industry on a path to more taxpayer bailouts or bankruptcy while the Big Labor bosses line their pockets.

"The UAW is one of the most corrupt and scandal-plagued unions in America. They are showing their true colors once again and autoworkers and taxpayers will be left holding the bag together.

"They want to threaten me and shut me up. They don't scare me. I will truly fight for American workers and jobs, promote the dignity of work, and end the Biden retreat from the values that make our nation exceptional."
