In an extraordinary show of support for organized labor, President Biden said he would join workers in Michigan on the front lines of their strike against leading automakers.

So, Biden is going to Michigan for a photo op.
Even still, sounds to me like a very effective way to signal support for the striking workers. Obviously he can’t participate for the entire strike, he has shit to do and would easily garner much more criticism doing that. I suspect everyone that disapproves of this move disapproves of the man anyway.
Any time the president comes to town, no matter who it is, all I hear is people complaining about the traffic caused by all the security. No one ever seems happy about it. The more trivial the visit, the more upset they get.
Back when I was working as a flight instructor, president Obama did a bus tour across my state. The President has a TFR surrounding him at all times, and when he’s on the move, so is the TFR. It was real fun shutting down our business for a day so that the President could get absolutely nothing done because everyone had their minds made up who to vote for before the candidates were even announced.
Don’t forget he did the same song and dance for the rail workers and he forced them to suck down the corporate contract.
He got the rail workers their demands. It just never got media coverage.
