The auto industry is barreling toward electrification. That can be an exciting opportunity or a threat to working people, United Auto Workers Vice President Cindy Estrada said Tuesday.
"We can't assume these are going to be good jobs," Estrada warned during a panel hosted by the left-leaning Center for American Progress. "Because we can assume that corporate America is going to use these subsidies to do union avoidance."
She argued that federal funds aimed at accelerating EV production must be tied to incentives for those facilities to unionize in order to protect high wages and benefits.
