WASHINGTON (Reuters) – United Auto Workers (UAW) President Shawn Fain met on Wednesday with President Joe Biden at the White House as the union briefed staff on contract talks with the Detroit Three automakers, a White House official told Reuters.
The UAW leadership had asked for time to brief White House senior staff on negotiations, the official said. That meeting took place Wednesday in the West Wing, and when Biden learned of it, he asked to also talk directly with Fain and the two had a brief meeting, the official added.
