Statement on the Vote by Employees at the Ultium Cells LLC Electric Vehicle Battery Plant in Warren, Ohio, To Join the United Auto Workers

Congratulations to the newest members of the United Auto Workers at the Ultium Cells LLC EV battery plant in Warren, Ohio. I ran for President to rebuild the middle class. The middle class built America, and unions built the middle class. My economic plan is creating good-paying jobs that you can raise a family on—many that don't require a college degree—and provide the free and fair choice to join a union. By rebuilding our infrastructure and our manufacturing of electric vehicle batteries and semiconductors, these jobs will bring our supply chains back home and tackle the climate crisis at the same time. In my administration, American and union workers can and will lead the world in manufacturing once again.
