UAW president Shawn Fain: "I truly find it pathetic when I hear Trump—a scab—talk about how he's going to bring back the auto industry and bring it back fast. When he was president, he didn't do a damn thing to help the auto industry. Plants were closing and left this country, and he did nothing to help it.”
Republicans in Congress pushed a bill that did not have sick leave. After the bill passed white house continued to work with the unions and helped negotiate their contract so they got what they wanted (other comments provided links confirming it).
I guess the Republican plan worked, as it looks like people still only know about the bill.
