With United Auto Workers still striking against General Motors, presidential candidates Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden drew sharp distinctions over their plans for health care in a way that could directly impact those on strike
GM revealed that health care benefits for those on strike will soon come to an end, meaning the union will be forced to pick up the tab for COBRA coverage. Sanders, who has faced criticism over how his"Medicare for All" plan would impact unions and their negotiated benefits, argued that if his plan were the law of the land those striking wouldn't have to worry about their coverage."Here you have a situation with UAW is out on strike. 49,000 workers.
"Two key Sanders advisers later offered an even tougher assessment of Biden's position. Campaign manager Faiz Shakir called Biden"Pinocchio Joe" on Twitter, while senior adviser Warren Gunnels responded to the Biden comments forcefully."Try telling that to the UAW workers who had their benefits taken away from them by GM," Gunnels wrote on Twitter.
