President Trump was a wildcard in the walkout decision. He's jawboned GM's leadership before, focusing on factory closings.
has offered to bring a new vehicle and battery production to two of the plants it idled, one in Michigan and one in Ohio.The bottom line is that GM's offer to the UAW looks good for Trump.After contract negotiations between General Motors and the United Auto Workers broke down over the weekend, the union ordered its membership to strike. It's the first major action against GM since 2007 and the first big US strike since 1982..
But soon after GM's roughly 50,000 UAW members walked off the job on Sunday, Trump's reaction wasn't exactly fiery."Here we go again with General Motors and the United Auto Workers," he tweeted."Get together and make a deal!"Bringing idled factories back to lifeOn idled factories, GM proposed to bring a new vehicle to the Detroit-Hamtramck plant and, in a bit of a surprise, to convert its Lordstown plant in Ohio to battery production.
It's dangerous to over-interpret a Trump tweet, but it's fair to point out that he might be lacking patience for a long strike. Much of this could be because while GM is effectively giving him what he wants, the UAW's leadership, including President Gary Jones, is under investigation by federal authorities over allegations of corruption. It would be awkward for Trump to throw himself into the negotiations due to that alone.
