President Joe Biden is asking major US automakers and their workers' union to reach an agreement that takes 'every possible step to avoid painful plant closings' as the sector transitions to electric vehicles.
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden is asking major U.S. automakers and their workers' union to reach an agreement that takes "every possible step to avoid painful plant closings" as the sector transitions to electric vehicles.
Biden said in a statement Monday that as the market moves away from gasoline-powered vehicles, the auto industry still must provide "good jobs that can support a family" and ensure that "transitions are fair and look to retool, reboot, and rehire in the same factories and communities at comparable wages, while giving existing workers the first shot to fill those jobs."
