Sen. John Fetterman: I walked the UAW picket line. Everyone should see what I saw.

The mere threat of shutting down the world's most profitable car manufacturing plant has prompted General Motors — which previously claimed that the strike was unambiguously wrong — to finally agree to UAW's terms. The walkout reinforces working-class Americans' power and inspires non-union auto workers across the country.
The well-paid UAW leadership doesn't care about auto workers' interests. The union aims to create operational chaos to inflict the worst punishment possible on the Big Three, even if that means rejecting a record contract offer and requiring the rank and file to experience a considerable drop in pay or layoffs amid a nationwide inflation crisis.
