Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio) appeared to make a slight dig at her Ohio delegation colleague Sen. J.D. Vance ® during an interaction on a United Auto Workers (UAW) picket line in their home state.
“First time here?” Kaptur asked Vance, according to a video from local station WTVG 13 Action News.
“First time here, yeah,” Vance responded.
“Thank you for coming,” she then said.
The brief conversation followed an awkward interaction during which Kaptur held out a fist as Vance extended an open hand for a shake. Vance then attempted to extend his hand for a fist bump as Kaptur drew her hand back.
EVs do require fewer workers as they have fewer parts. Which is why the UAW demand of a 32 hour work week at the same pay is relevant: less work, so we should work less and maintain jobs.
It is fucking amazing how a militant and democratic leadership (Fain is the first UAW president elected by direct member vote) turned the UAW around.
