At midnight, the UAW’s roughly 150,000 members went on strike against
General Motors, Ford and Stellantis — the first time ever that the union
has targeted all three companies simultaneously in a labor action that
threatens to rattle national politics. Though the more immediate issues
at play are higher wages wages and better benefits, the broader
implications for President Joe Biden — who has yet to win the UAW’s
endorsement — and for the 2024 electoral map are undeniable. Playbook
deputy editor Zack Stanton sits down with E&E White House reporter Scott
Waldman for the whole story. That, and the latest from Capitol Hill and
Hunter Biden’s legal saga, on this morning’s Playbook Daily Briefing.
