Let’s see more collective bargaining wins. It’s how the lives of many gained monumental improvements in the 20th century, which have been consistently eroded away.

It’s time for lower and middle class workers to have a more meaningful share of the benefits their labor creates. It’s time for a thriving, growing, and financially stable middle class.

Finally a united front with all 3 automakers. Let's hope the workers get what they're asking for. Profits are through the roof, so let "trickle down economics" do its thing.

Surely they have enough to share and won't cry that giving workers fair wages will bankrupt them.
