The United Auto Workers president Shawn Fain used a pop culture tidbit to personify the power of modern American organized labor.

Fain is on board with working with President Donald Trump on protecting American labor.

In a recent opinion piece published in the Washington Post , Fain expressed hope that he and his union can find common ground with Trump .

"As Trump himself has put it, “free trade” has been “carnage” for the American working class. The corporate class rigged the deck and dealt American workers a losing hand. It’s time to reshuffle the deck and fix our broken trade deals for workers everywhere. The UAW stands ready to support any politician or administration that takes on corporate greed to do exactly that." Related: Veteran fund manager issues dire S&P 500 warning for 2025 .
