The president of the United Auto Workers used his appearance onstage during the opening night of the Democratic National Convention on Monday to blast Republican nominee Donald Trump as a union-buster who "laughs about firing workers who go on strike."
About halfway through his remarks, Shawn Fain removed his jacket to reveal a shirt emblazoned with the words, "Trump Is a Scab"—a line that the DNC audience chanted throughout the UAW president's speech as he condemned the GOP nominee's anti-worker record and praised Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
"For the UAW and for working-class people everywhere, this election comes down to one question: Which side are you on?" said Fain.
