The United Auto Workers union is striking for better pay and benefits after years of seeing their wages stagnate. “I don’t think these are huge demands,” says former UAW president Bob King, who adds that the CEOs and executives of the country’s top automobile companies have been receiving “astronomical” amounts of money. “This is not just a fight for UAW members, but a fight for all workers in America…This is a fight to raise all workers’ wages.” - Aired on 09/24/2023.

1. All Boats

Unions are the reason workers have weekends, holidays, safety, and such because they have one purpose: advocating for the rank-and-file

A rising tide raises all boats is appropriate here. If you’re off work on Sunday, thank a union member. Without solidarity the feudal system and indentured servants would prevail again.

Which is one step away from actual slavery.

2. Beautifully said. The efforts of unions have helped all workers across this country from the start.

Which means that we all need to applaud and support their efforts.
