It’s time to determine what facet you’re on. Are you on the facet of the Huge 3 CEOs who made a mixed $74 million final 12 months, and are actually claiming they can not afford to pay their employees? Or are you on the facet of the UAW employees who bust their ass day by day, the individuals who construct the American automobiles and vehicles we Pennsylvanians drive?

I do know which facet I’m on. So long as these courageous employees proceed to stroll the picket line, my complete crew and I’ll have their backs. We’ll help them any approach we will till they attain a good deal.

All these employees are asking for is for his or her fundamental must be met, to share within the monumental wealth they’ve created for his or her firms. They need to get again to work and do their jobs.

We should not neglect – particularly on days like as we speak – that the union lifestyle is sacred. It’s what constructed this nation, it’s what constructed Pennsylvania, and it’s what constructed the center class. I’m at all times going to come back down on the facet of employees.

Solidarity endlessly.

President Biden made it clear on Friday that he’s on the facet of the hanging employees. 

In distinction, Donald Trump refused to help the hanging employees, attacked the top of the UAW, and tried to falsely scare employees about electrical autos being made in China.

The response to a strike tells all employees which facet their elected officers are on.

Folks like President Biden and Sen. Fetterman have the backs of America’s employees, whereas Donald Trump sees those self same backs as an incredible place to stay a knife.
