"I would say zero," John Palmer, vice president at-large of the Teamsters, said in a Wednesday interview on CNN. "I don't believe he does have a chance."

Palmer skipped a Wednesday roundtable powwow with former President Donald Trump and Teamsters Union brass in Washington where Trump made his best pitch to blue-collar workers that helped him march by Hillary Clinton in 2016 and will be a focal part in key battleground states like Wisconsin and Michigan to determine what happens come November....

DETROIT — The United Auto Workers and Stellantis NV have reached a tentative agreement toward ending a 44-day strike, according to a source familiar with the information.

TOLEDO, Ohio — United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain on Saturday warned autoworkers on strike not to let messaging from the Detroit Three automakers give up their fight for "justice." "They're trying to cause doubt between the membership and the leadership," Fain told picketers at Stellantis NV's Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator plant in Toledo on their 16th day of being on strike.
