SAG-AFTRA Tweet
From Thursday…
Collective bargaining works.
— President Biden (@POTUS) November 9, 2023
I applaud SAG-AFTRA and Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers for working together towards an agreement that will make their industry stronger and offer workers a fair share of the value they helped create.
His full statement:
Collective bargaining works. I applaud SAG-AFTRA and Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers for working together in good faith towards an agreement that allows our entertainment industry to continue telling the stories of America. When both sides come to the table to negotiate in earnest they can make businesses stronger and allow workers to secure pay and benefits that help them raise families and retire with dignity. Over the last three years, workers have won historic victories that ensure record pay, record benefits, and an economy that grows from the middle out and bottom up. SAG-AFTRA members will have the final say on this contract, but the sacrifices they’ve made will ensure a better future for them, their families, and all workers who deserve a fair share of the value they helped create.
White House.gov. 11/09/2023.

• Critical protections for diverse communities. (8/14)
…and remaining resolved throughout the 118 days of our strike. Your solidarity helped us achieve the necessary leverage to secure these unprecedented gains. (10/14)
— SAG-AFTRA (@sagaftra) November 10, 2023

UAW Tweets
From Thursday…
Join me in Belvidere – where Stellantis is reopening a plant and bringing back thousands of UAW jobs – as I deliver remarks on my commitment to working families. https://t.co/hWudsSIddZ
— President Biden (@POTUS) November 9, 2023
The YouTube is 28 minutes and 13 seconds long. His full remarks can be found here.
Today, I'm in Illinois to highlight the reopening of the Belvidere assembly plant following UAW’s hard fought, good faith negotiations to reach a historic agreement.
— President Biden (@POTUS) November 9, 2023
Strong unions allow us to build a strong middle-class while helping our most iconic American companies thrive.
The future of the automobile industry will be made in America by American union workers.
— President Biden (@POTUS) November 9, 2023
Today, I saw that future in Illinois where the Belvidere Assembly plant – the beating heart of this community for nearly six decades – is reopening, bringing thousands of jobs back home. pic.twitter.com/w8l5DWGlVT
The future of the automobile industry will be made in America by American union workers. (Applause.)
And I see the future here in Belvidere.
The Belvidere Assembly plant was the beating heart of this community for nearly six decades, just like it was back in — in Delaware, where I was raised. Eight months ago, the plant idled indefinitely. One thousand two hundred of you lost jobs.
[snip]
Meanwhile, the UAW fought like hell to get these jobs back. And now, you’ve secured nearly $5 billion in new investment to bring thousands of jobs back to Belvidere. (Applause.)
They’ll reopen that plant assembly; build me- — build mid-sized trucks, a state-of-the-art battery factory, and a parts distribution center right here in Belvidere. (Applause.)
White House.gov. 11/09/2023.
Over 30% increase in wages with cost-of-living adjustments.
— President Biden (@POTUS) November 10, 2023
Greater retirement security.
More paid leave.
That's UAW collective bargaining in action.
And it's not just a game changer for Big Three workers –
It's a game changer for all workers. pic.twitter.com/faMCwYXYqC
Over 30 percent increase in wages with cost-of-living adjustments; a bigger pay increases over the last — next four and a half years than in the last 22 years combined; greater retirement security; more paid leave; and community by — commitments by the Big Three to create thousands more full-time, middle-class jobs, investing tens of billions of dollars building the auto future made in America.
Look, folks, these deals are gamechangers not only for UAW workers but for all workers in America. Just ask the folks at Toyota, which last week announced that it would significantly, finally increase wages for their workers.
White House.gov. 11/09/2023.
From Friday…
American workers are ready to work harder than anyone else.
— President Biden (@POTUS) November 10, 2023
They just need a shot.
They just want to be treated fairly.
Look, that view is that American workers are ready to work harder than anybody else. But they just need to be given a shot — a fair shot and a fair wage. That’s not too much to ask.
White House.gov. 11/09/2023.
Israel/Humanitarian Aid/Current Pinned Tweets
From Thursday…
For weeks, I've been speaking with Israel’s leaders about the importance of humanitarian pauses in the fighting to get civilians to safety, support the freeing of hostages, and increase the flow of food, water, and medicine into Gaza.
— President Biden (@POTUS) November 9, 2023
Here's the latest on those conversations:
We’re also doing everything in our power to increase humanitarian supplies and assistance.
— President Biden (@POTUS) November 9, 2023
There were 96 trucks of supplies two days ago, and 106 trucks yesterday.
But we need to see more, and soon. We are aiming for at least 150 per day, every day.
These pauses will help get civilians to safer areas away from active fighting.
— President Biden (@POTUS) November 9, 2023
They are a step in the right direction.
You have my word: I will continue to advocate for civilian safety and focus on increasing aid to alleviate the suffering of the people of Gaza.

Random Tweet
From Friday…
Even during a moment of global conflict, gas prices are down $1.60 from their peak — providing breathing room to families ahead of holiday travel.
— President Biden (@POTUS) November 10, 2023
But Big Oil profits are still elevated.
Instead of padding profits, companies should invest to get more relief to consumers.
Happy Friday! While the national average is on hold (for aforementioned reasons) at $3.39/gal, it will likely resume declining today or tomorrow. Average #gasprices are down 1.3c/gal from a week ago, one of the smaller recent declines. The most common price today: $3.29/gal.
— Patrick De Haan ⛽️📊 (@GasBuddyGuy) November 10, 2023
7 of 17 major California cities now have average #gasprices at $4.99/gal or less. The remaining 10 will likely get there in the next couple weeks, if not sooner!
— Patrick De Haan ⛽️📊 (@GasBuddyGuy) November 10, 2023
I can confirm the CA., gas prices tweet. In my area, cause is under 5 dollars a gallon.
This is an Open Thread.
