Dear MoveOn member,
My name is Meme Edwards. I have worked for General Motors in Michigan for
more than two decades, but right now I'm on strike along with tens of
thousands of colleagues from 70 facilities in 19 states. We demand fair
wages, a fair share of profits for workers, a path to permanent employment
for temporary workers, affordable health care, and job security.

with workers.
Nearly 50,000 autoworkers are striking. Add your name if you agree General
Motors should listen to United Auto Workers to quickly and fairly
negotiate a new contract.

I met my husband working at this plant. We raised our daughters and bought
a home in the time we've been here. We have been able to make a stable,
middle-class living through this work. But General Motors isn't keeping up
with the times, and workers are getting left behind.
For instance, there's an increased reliance on "permatemps," workers who
are not given the benefits of full-time employees even though they work
just as hard.
[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition telling General Motors to come to the table in good
faith and negotiate an equitable contract.
Let's be honest here. General Motors made billions of dollars in profits
last year. We build the products that made those profits possible. We're
just asking for a fair share based on all that General Motors workers do
for the company and the American public.
Whether you are a union member, a supportive friend and family, or a
concerned member of the public, we hope you sign this petition to support
hard-working American families.
