Detroit Three automakers busing UAW workers in to cheer at Trumps visit to Ypsilanti

The Detroit Three are offering to bus workers from auto plants across southeast Michigan to President Donald Trump’s rally in Ypsilanti on Wednesday — a move that is drawing criticism from at least two union officials who say the president doesn’t really support American workers, and that they don’t want UAW members to become political props.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and General Motors told workers they will transport them to and from Trump’s rally, provide lunch and cover their pay for the day if they miss a shift at their plant. Ford will do the same, but will not cover their pay.

...

At least one union local, UAW Local 372, is having none of it and circulated flyers around their workplace saying “TRUMP RALLY NOT ENDORSED BY THE UAW”. “I have been at Chrysler for 23 years, and I have never seen this kind of approach. We have never seen them go out of their way to pay people to go to a rally,” Local 373 President Gabe Solano told the Detroit Free Press.

They WILL get their quota.

There are more than a few workers who are going to be Trumpidiots.

Free travel, meal and pay for some ... They will be in their glory.

18. Did you take a look at that crowd behind him?

The severe-faced woman in front is a clone of all the women that were at his Midwest rallies. The men were good-ol' boys that can't wait for Trump to 'get things done.' I did see one black guy but he appeared to be hiding behind the massive body of Dear Leader.
