Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre will hold a press briefing on Monday ahead of President Joe Biden's trip to Detroit, where he will picket with autoworkers on strike.
The president is expected to visit the strikers on Tuesday to express support for the United Auto Workers members. The stop comes after he received an invitation to visit Detroit from UAW President Shawn Fain on Friday morning. Former President Donald Trump is expected to visit the workers on Wednesday.
The trip comes after acting Labor Secretary Julie Su and White House adviser Gene Sperling canceled their planned trip to Detroit last week.Earlier this month, 13,000 UAW workers started a targeted strike of the three big automakers, General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis, in Michigan, Missouri, and Ohio. The union is seeking changes to workers' contracts, including a 36% pay bump over the next four years.
