The United Auto Workers union challenged Donald Trump to work a 12-hour shift after the former president said a child could do an auto assembly-line job. The union shared a video Wednesday from one of their Ohio members, Dawnya Ferdinansen, challenging the Republican nominee to pick up a shift. “I want to see you assemble parts ‘out of a box’ for 12 hours,” Ferdinansen said. “Until you actually work a manual labor job, you keep the name of the UAW out of your mouth.” Trump made the dig about industry workers during an interview at the Economic Club of Chicago on Tuesday. “They build everything in Germany, and then they assemble it here,” Trump said. “They take them out of a box and they assemble them. We could have our child do it.” UAW President Shawn Fain also responded to Trump’s comment, “Donald Trump is a billionaire who’s never worked a real job in his life. He doesn’t know the first thing about hard work, and he wouldn’t last a day in an auto plant. He isn’t fit to be an autoworker, and he certainly isn’t fit to be the President,” Fain said.
