Jeremi Suri, a presidential historian and professor at University of Texas at Austin, said he doesn’t believe any president has ever visited a picket line during a strike.

The summer of 1974 I used my grandmother’s influence as the most famous humorous writer in the Ozarks to land one of two spots Richard Nixon had made possible for summer seasonal teenage workers.
Instead of $2 an hour, the Marina could work us 80 hours a week at $1.25 an hour, no overtime, and not any more hours.
$100 a week then would be about like $600 a week today. I’m sitting here looking at a Queen Steel Folding Hunter $25 knife I bought that summer that I had to work 20 hours for, and the same knife is sold today for $25 only made in China.
One Saturday I was putting a motor on a rental boat for a customer and the marina manager Ivan walked out on the dock and nailed up a sign that read:
PLEASE DO NOT TIP THE DOCK BOYS
The customer walked up and saw the sign and said
Hey, Ivan, you old bastard. Why don’t you **** with me and my union brothers instead of that boy over there working his *** off for you?
Ivan started to say how much we earned and the customer said you pay those kids almost nothing and they can’t say anything when you do **** like put up a sign we shouldn’t tip them.
I knew I was going to loose my job, any second.
But I watched Ivan, take down the sign.
The Teamster got in the boat and said you tell me if that old bastard gives you any **** after I leave.
I still have his card somewhere, among my souvenirs.
He was the President of the local Teamster’s Union my second cousin is president of today.
God damn go to Detroit Joe Biden!
It’s past time a President walked with the unions.

“Tuesday, I’ll go to Michigan to join the picket line and stand in solidarity with the men and women of UAW as they fight for a fair share of the value they helped create. It’s time for a win-win agreement that keeps American auto manufacturing thriving with well-paid UAW jobs,” Biden said in a post to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

This is why I voted for that old man and will again.
I’ve watched the news every day since I was five years old when Bobby Bare first sang Detroit City and I cannot remember any President walking a picket line.
Go get ‘em Joe.

The security will be a nightmare, but may God bless and protect Joe Biden, an 80 year old man waking a UAW picket line in Detroit City.
A man who still owns the brand new 1967 Corvette his old Daddy gave him for a wedding present is one of my kind of people.
I’ve never been poor one day of all my life, but after my father died when I was 13 the issue was in doubt, for awhile.
After Mama decided we were not bound for the poor house after all, she wrote a check for a brand new 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass made in Detroit.
God damn those bastards that hate Joe Biden.
