TAPPAN – Governor Kathy Hochul lent her support to striking United Auto Workers union employees as she joined the picket line in Rockland County today (Wednesday).
Carrying a red UAW on strike sign, the governor joined the picket line at the Chrysler parts depot in Tappan.
Her visit was days after President Biden became the first sitting president to join an auto workers picket line when he stood with UAW workers on September 26 at GM’s Willow Run Redistribution Center in Belleville, Michigan.
The union began its strike for better wages on September 25.
Negotiations are ongoing between the union and the American automakers.
