Sen. Tim Scott: Auto Workers Want ‘Four-Day French Work Weeks’

The South Carolina senator also said that President Joe Biden should be at the southern border, not union picket lines in Michigan

​​South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott attacked the ongoing auto worker strike against the United States' Big Three automakers during the second GOP presidential debate Wednesday.

“One of the challenges that we have in the current negotiations is that they want four day French work weeks, but more money,” Scott said of the Union of Automobile Workers. 

Scott dodged a question about whether he would fire those auto workers, pivoting to place blame on President Joe Biden for visiting UAW picket lines in Michigan this week in support of the union.

Biden, he said, “should not be on the picket line, he should be on the Southern border.”
