United Auto Workers members welcomed President Barack Obama's appearance at this year's Labor Day rally, saying it helps draw attention to the auto industry at a time their leaders are negotiating national contracts with Detroit's Big Three.

"It gives a little more weight to the contract negotiations," said Kim Janeski, a member of UAW Local 931, which represents Ford Motor Co. workers. "The federal government is behind us as workers."

The UAW is bargaining with all three Detroit automakers — General Motors Co., Chrysler Group LLC and Ford — hammering away at new labor agreements to replace ones that expire Sept. 14. Those talks continued at Chrysler and GM this weekend, but negotiators took Monday off.
