President Biden joins picket line with striking car manufacturing workers

The Telegraph Mr Biden became the first president in modern history to join a picket line on Tuesday as he spoke to striking workers protesting low pay in the car manufacturing industry.
In what historians called an "absolutely unprecedented" move, Mr Biden told members of the United Auto Workers (UAW) trade union on strike in suburban Detroit to “stick with it” and hold out for “a significant raise and other benefits”.
The strike and battle for union support have become political flashpoints in the 2024 campaign, which has seen questions over Mr Biden's fitness for re-election come to the fore in recent months.
