Union calls for solidarity on first day of strike against Big Three automakers, as Ford confirms layoffs and GM may take a similar step.
Sen. Bernie Sanders joined a United Auto Workers rally in Detroit on Friday, as the union gathered on the first day of its unprecedented strike against all of the Big Three and reiterated a call for solidarity.
Sanders, wearing a red jacket that matched union members’ red shirts, thanked the crowd for “standing up not only for your own members, but for the working class of this country.” His comments echoed Fain’s frequent talking points when the union president addresses the membership: that workers are asking for their fair share of the companies’ profit.
Sanders called for “every American to stand with the UAW,” saying “the CEOs and stockholders on Wall Street have to understand they cannot have it all.” In addition, GM said late Friday that the strike at its Wentzville assembly plant in Missouri will cause a parts shortage at another plant in Kansas, which could lead to a shutdown at the Kansas factory.
