According to Gateway Pundit, Brian Pannebecker, a member of the union, has voiced his opposition to the endorsement, labeling it as 'sheer lunacy.' Pannebecker, who founded the group 'Auto Workers for Trump,' argues that the former president is a more suitable candidate for the workers, questioning Harris's contributions to the workforce.
In an interview with WXYZ News, Pannebecker expressed his disbelief at the union's decision. “To endorse Kamala Harris is sheer lunacy,” he said. “How can you not endorse the guy who ripped up NAFTA and re-wrote the trade agreement so that it was to the advantage of the American worker?”

Pannebecker's 'Auto Workers for Trump' group, established in 2017, has reportedly grown in popularity, attracting workers like Chris Vitale, a 30-year UAW member who previously voted for Obama. Vitale's support for Trump stems from his belief in the former president's commitment to the American worker.

“Donald Trump is nowhere near a traditional Republican. If the choice was John McCain or Mitt Romney or one of these guys from the East Coast, I wouldn’t vote for them either, I never did,” Vitale stated. “These are the choices we have, and I’ll damn sure take a guy who has built things and stuck up for the American worker over a San Francisco prosecutor.”

This discord within the union echoes the political dynamics of 2016 and 2020, when union leaders endorsed the Democratic candidate while many union members rallied behind Trump. The divide underscores the ongoing debate about who truly represents the interests of the American worker.
