Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, joins auto workers' picket line in Toledo, talks solidarity.
““There’s been a 60-year campaign against unions by corporate America, by gazillionaires. When you see the numbers, people see that unions can help them. Most of us don’t have that power alone.””
The UAW is seeking wage increases, an end to a tiered workforce, a return of pensions and cost-of-living adjustments, increases to retiree benefits, a 32-hour work week and more. She also said that when workers win higher wages and employers meet their demands, other workers get inspired to fight for their own working conditions. The public — and employers — notice. “Success begets success,” she said.
