Auto workers are demanding a 40% raise to match the 40% pay increase CEOs of the Detroit automakers got over the past 4 years.
CEOs are calling this absurd, but they couldn't be more wrong.
THIS IS A COMPROMISE. Why? Because worker's real wages have fallen 30% over the past 20 years. They're foregoing 16 years of wage theft for 4 of equity, and consistent equity going forward. That's basic justice.
Pay workers. Unionize workers. Tax billionaires. Save our economy.
