At the Democratic Convention In Chicago, Mark Gruenberg at People’s World reports Union Leaders and Two Union Members marched to the podium at the opening day of the Democratic Convention in Chicago, full of praise for Vice President Kamala Harris and blasting at her Republican foe, convicted felon and White Nationalist Donald Trump, President Biden’s predecessor.  United Auto Workers (UAW) President Shawn Fain led the parade, after announcing earlier in the day that Stellantis, one of the big three auto companies, has reneged on its contractual commitment to reopen and expand its huge Belvidere plant, starting next year and achieve full production in three years.  Meanwhile, Fain noted the UAW had agreed to the climate change battle program President Biden strongly supported and Trump, who like other Republicans is a climate denier and fossil fuel booster, opposed.  Trump had called Fain “irresponsible” and demanded his replacement.  “We went on Strike (at The Big Three Automakers) for forty days and Donald Trump did nothing,” Fain said. “Biden stood shoulder to shoulder with us” in front of a Ford Plant in Michigan, he said.  The Strike’s success “produced life-changing gains,” Fain added.
