'We will shut down parts distribution until those two companies come to their senses and come to the table with a serious offer,' said United Auto Workers president Shawn Fain.
wrote that the UAW's "fight against corporate greed is the fight to improve the lives of every worker in America."
"What's going on in the auto industry is not unique. It's pretty much what's been happening all over the American economy," Sanders continued. "In the United States today, at a time of massive income and wealth inequality, weekly wages for the average American worker are actually $50 a week lower than they were 50 years ago after adjusting for inflation."
"I am very proud to stand in solidarity with the UAW," the senator added, "and I will do everything that I can do to make sure they receive a fair contract." Lee Saunders, president of the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees , also expressed support for the UAW's growing strike.
"UAW workers are striking for all working people," Saunders said in a statement Friday. "For decades, insatiable corporate greed has driven billionaires to take and take and take from hardworking Americans. It's never enough for them, and we're sick of it. Going back to the 1968 Memphis Sanitation Strike, when AFSCME and Dr. King marched with workers for fair pay and justice, we know that strikes can change the world for the better.
