I stand in solidarity with the United Auto Workers in their historic strike for a just contract with the Big Three automakers. The history of organized labor is a history of struggle and today I honor that struggle. 1/3

These workers are doing exactly what needs to be done in order to take back our country from corporate economic tyranny. I support their demands for wage increases with cost-of-living adjustments, an end to the tiered employment system, better benefits & a 32-hour work week. 2/3

We need a government that stands with organized labor & not with unfettered corporate power. Government should stand arm and arm with forces of economic justice, in stalwart rebuke of those who transgress against it. As President of the United States, I will. 3/3 #StandUpUAW

So sorry to see the end of the American auto industry. At least we will still be able to buy American made BMWs and Hondas.

The could pay their workers twice what they do now, and the cost of cars would not need to go up.

You are dreaming if you think automakers could double their labor costs and just absorb the added expense. The increases the union is asking for would equal a doubling. A 46% raise with a 20% decrease in hours worked!
