The United Auto Workers (UAW) has criticized the Biden administration for a multibillion-dollar loan package that seeks to boost the production of electric vehicles (EV), saying it shortchanges traditional autoworkers who could lose their jobs or be paid lower wages.
“The federal government announced a massive $9.2 billion giveaway loan to Ford Motor Co. through the Department of Energy to create 7,500 low-road jobs with no consideration for wages, working conditions, union rights, or retirement security,” the autoworkers union, a longtime ally of the Democratic Party, said in a June 23 statement.
