A Scab Running for President Calls for Firing UAW President Shawn Fain
“Don’t get played by this scab billionaire,” Fain, president of the United Auto Workers, said in response to Donald Trump. “Stand up and fight for more.”

Former President Donald Trump rose to national prominence publicly humiliating workers by firing them on television, posing for cameras as a big tough guy in a spectacle of macho bravado and cruelty.
A career boss with a long history of cheating workers, his long-running reality show in a prime-time slot on NBC elevated his profile from a braggart white-collar criminal in the New York tabloids to a savvy boss.
As the current Republican presidential nominee, he reprised that billionaire boss role, using the spotlight of the party’s national convention on July 18 to call for United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain to be “fired immediately.”
“Last night, Donald Trump once again attacked our union on a national stage. That should tell you everything you need to know about the man, and the candidate,” Fain said. “As we’ve said for many months, he stands for everything we stand against.”
