In a bold move, the United Auto Workers union has officially filed federal labor charges against Donald Trump and Elon Musk. The union accuses the two of attempting to intimidate and threaten workers who engage in strikes, following comments made during a recent interview.
During the interview, Trump was quoted saying, "They go on strike, I won't mention the name of the company, but they go on strike and you say, That's OK, you're all gone. So, every one of you is gone." These remarks have sparked outrage within the UAW, who argue that advocating for the firing of striking workers is illegal under the National Labor Relations Act.
UAW president Shawn Fain did not hold back in his criticism of Trump and Musk, stating, "Both Trump and Musk want working class people to sit down and shut up, and they laugh about it openly. It's disgusting, illegal, and totally predictable from these two clowns."
