We refuse to live in an oligarchy; we refuse to accept a society in which so few have so much and so many have so little.
at the United Auto Workers rally in Detroit, Michigan, on Friday, September 15, 2023.
Let’s be clear: The fight that you are waging here is not only about decent wages, decent benefits, and decent working conditions in the automobile industry. In other words, the fight of the UAW against corporate greed is our fight—the fight of every American. That, brothers and sisters is what this strike is about and that’s why every worker in this country should support your struggle.
And here we are now in 2023—86 years later and once again the UAW is helping to lead the effort to rebuild and grow the middle class. I say to Jim Farley, the CEO of Ford. Last year, you made nearly $21 million in total compensation, and my guess is that when you retire from your job you’re going to have a great pension and all kinds of other benefits. Do you have any clue as to what it’s like to be a worker and worry about how you’re going to survive in retirement when you have no savings in the bank?
And let me tell you something else. I am getting a little sick and tired of hearing the corporate media tell us how bad a strike will be for the economy and how many billions of dollars the auto industry may lose as a result. The CEOs of General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis and their major stockholders on Wall Street have got to understand that they cannot have it all.
