For 10 days, the United Auto Workers have been on strike as they negotiate for better wages and conditions for 150,000 workers across the country.
And since Day 1, Alexandria, Rep. Cori Bush, and Rep. Rashida Tlaib have stood in proud support of these striking auto workers, and workers everywhere, as they push for a contract that reflects their value — yesterday, Alexandria even joined Cori in Wentzville, MO to rally with UAW.
Alexandria, Cori, and Rashida came to Congress to fight for working people against corporate greed, for a future where every single worker makes a living wage and doesn’t have to choose between putting food on the table and paying their bills.
Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis — or “The Big 3” — have netted nearly a quarter trillion dollars in profit over the last decade. And while their CEOs have given themselves raises of 40%, UAW wages have only increased by 6%.
This fight comes at a time when the average salary of a working-class American is lower than it was 30 years ago — while corporations report record-breaking profits.
And while CEO’s complain that fair pay for workers is ‘unsustainable’, Alexandria, Cori, and Rashida have made it clear: there’s no way corporations can spend hundreds of millions of dollar on stock buybacks to manipulate prices and boost their own pay to ludicrous levels, while starving the workers who make the products they sell. Workers deserve dignified pay.
Every dollar, no matter the amount, shows widespread support for our progressive movement from Pennsylvania and beyond.
Solidarity always,
Team AOC
