Harris supporting UAW files labor charges against Trump and Musk after X conversation

The United Auto Workers (UAW), which formally endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president, announced on Tuesday that it has filed federal labor charges against former President Trump and Elon Musk after their Monday evening live conversation on the social media platform X.

The UAW argued that Musk and Trump tried to “intimidate and threaten” union workers. 

“I mean, I look at what you do,” Trump told Musk. “You walk in, you say, ‘You want to quit?’ They go on strike, I won’t mention the name of the company, but they go on strike, and you say, ‘That’s OK, you’re all gone. You’re all gone. So, every one of you is gone.’”

UAW President Shawn Fain, who recently spoke at a Harris campaign rally, criticized Trump after the X discussion with Musk. 

“When we say Donald Trump is a scab, this is what we mean. When we say Trump stands against everything our union stands for, this is what we mean,” Fain said.
