For years, union members have been more open to tariffs than most economists or politicians.
This hour, we sit down to discuss whether the newest round of tariffs — 25% tariffs on cars coming from other countries — could bring more manufacturing back to this country.

Our guests:
- Dan Maloney, president of the Rochester Area Labor Federation, president of the Rochester Labor Council, and president of UAW Local 1097
- Brad McAreavy, president of the Rochester Automobile Dealers’ Association
