Biden’s Electric Car Plan: Rig Manufacturing to Favor Unions

[Geee]

American Greatness

In a highly orchestrated and publicized White House gathering this month, President Biden presented a detailed plan for the development of a U.S. fleet of clean, high-mileage electric automobiles that would reduce reliance on gasoline and generate thousands of good union jobs. It’s a new, government-encouraged, taxpayer-subsidized auto world. The plan calls for U.S. auto production to become 50 percent electric by 2030. Today, the electric share stands at a paltry 2 percent.

Top leaders from Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis (formerly Fiat-Chrysler), along with environmentalists and governors, were prominently invited to share in the announcement. Yet the absence of any non-union, America-located auto producers was glaring. There were no representatives from Hyundai, Nissan, or Toyota—companies that have long produced popular vehicles within our borders and recently expressed some support for Biden’s goal. Also striking was the absence of Tesla’s Elon Musk, the world’s acknowledged leader in the electric car and battery revolution. Tesla is an American firm, but it is not unionized.

Biden’s plan for America’s electric car future, in other words, is union-made.

 

When asked if the White House did not invite Musk because Tesla is not a union shop, Press Secretary Jen Psaki pointed out that the president invited the three largest employers of United Auto Workers (UAW) members and said: “I’ll let you draw your own conclusion.”
