   The UAW said it “supports the transition to a clean auto industry,” but   
   disapproves of the Biden administration issuing multi-billion dollar loans for   
   clean energy “with no consideration for wages, working conditions, union   
   rights or retirement    
   security,” which includes $9.2 billion granted to Ford for plans to build   
   battery plants in Tennessee and Kentucky, according to Politico.    
      
   Union workers want a 40 percent pay increase, while car manufacturers like   
   Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis wish to use their record profits to shore   
   up electric vehicle production.   
      
   EV's are big losers for Ford and GM.  But the gov't is helping out.  Now the   
   UAW wants a big fat piece of that pork and they're willing to strike for it.
