UAW to expand strike; leader invites Biden to picket with workers
The Hill ^ | 09/22/2023 | BRETT SAMUELS

The United Auto Workers (UAW) will expand its strike Friday afternoon, with employees walking off the job at General Motors and Stellantis parts distribution facilities, union President Shawn Fain announced.

Fain, in livestreamed remarks, said workers have made progress in negotiations with Ford since a targeted strike began at the Big Three auto companies last week.

“At GM and Stellantis, it’s a different story,” Fain said.

The union is expanding the strike Friday to include Stellantis and GM facilities at 38 locations across 28 states, he said.

“We will shut down parts distribution until those two companies come to their senses and come to the table with a serious offer,” Fain said.

Biden cannot walk a picket line and hold a sign unless it’s as a walking cane. He wears a diaper.

Whutta laff

Workers need more cash to pay inflation caused by Biden.

If he shows up, he should be the target of the strike.

We want $60/hr to snap together parts made in Mexico because our pay/benefits/retirement packages killed the auto industry decades ago.

The UAW waited until interest rates are higher, which impacts new car sales. LOL

Do these clowns realize they are cooking their own goose?
Nobody can afford to buy new cars now, and Democrats and Globalists want to regulate ICE cars out of existence.
These workers need to get over this fiction that auto execs in suits are the bad guys.

Do useful idiots ever realize that? If they did they wouldn’t ‘be’ useful idiots.

It’s interesting that the two car companies that Obama bailed out are the ones that the UAW is going after. Well, one car company and the current owners of another.

Hire replacement workers.

In a free country, the companies could permanently fire the strikers and hire workers.

We don't live in a free country.
