If GM can hand out billions of dollars in stock buybacks, then they can afford to give their workers the raise they deserve. That’s why I’m proud to stand with the United Automobile Workers and their strike for better wages and working conditions.

As working families struggle, massive corporations are seeing sky-high profits — but despite that revenue, companies like GM are still closing down plants and trying to slash benefits for their workers. It’s good that someone is drawing a line in the sand, and showing these companies the power of solidarity.

Will you stand with the nearly 50,000 UAW workers who’ve walked out for the first time in 12 years by signing your name here?

When you look at statistics about the relative wealth of middle-class families, and its decline over the past few decades, that decline is almost directly proportional to the drop in union membership.

Strikes like these are how we won many basic protections for workers in the past, and they’re an important tool to protect us against corporate greed in all of its forms. Together, we can do more to embolden unions, protect working-class jobs, and restore the economic power of the middle class.

In solidarity,
