United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain threw his endorsement behind Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris during the opening night of the Democratic National Convention Monday.
Fain became the face of a resurgent labor movement during the union's contract negotiations and strike against the major American automakers in 2023. Fain thanked President Joe Biden for walking a picket line during the strike and pointed to when Harris herself walked a picket line as California Senator.
Fain framed the election as a battle between a pro vs. anti-working class battle, in an echo of an earlier segment featuring six union presidents. "For us in the labor movement it's real simple Kamala Harris is one of us," Fain said.
Fain wore a shirt reading, "Trump is a scab" and used the phrase as an applause line in the speech.
