Americans should stand with the UAW and me to fight out-of-control corporate greed. The company CEOs make hundreds of times more than autoworkers. That needs to change.
has gone down by 30% over the past 20 years after adjusting for inflation.
United Auto Workers members strike at the Ford Michigan Assembly Plant on September 15, 2023, in Wayne, Michigan. This is the first time in history that the UAW is striking all three of the Big Three automakers, Ford, General Motors and Stellantis, at the same time. The UAW wants to make sure that autoworkers have the right to strike when the Big Three announces that they will be shutting down another plant. Over the past 20 years, the Big Three have shut down 65 factories and shipped tens of thousands of jobs to Mexico and other low wage countries where they can pay workers starvation wages with no benefits in a destructive race to the bottom.
Now, I understand that many pundits in the corporate media have been telling the American people how bad a strike will be for the economy and how many billions of dollars the auto industry may lose as a result. In my view, when you have autoworkers who cannot afford to buy the cars they make on the assembly line, that is bad for the economy.
