Shawn Fain called on the Trump administration to overhaul the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) or get rid of it entirely—a position that pits his union, representing 400,000 U.S. auto workers, against both U.S. and foreign auto manufacturers who want to keep the deal. (The Wall Street Journal)
Talking point: President Donald Trump slapped 25 per cent duties on foreign vehicles as part of his efforts to convince manufacturers to relocate production to the U.S. The UAW supports the Section 232 tariffs, but said the duties will not reduce offshoring unless the USMCA requires Mexican workers to be paid the same wages as Americans. “A high auto tariff coupled with rules of origin that no longer allow automakers to pay poverty wages abroad would mark a huge step to strengthen the domestic auto industry,” the union wrote in a submission to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative’s consultations on the USMCA review.
