Michigan Lawmaker Stands with UAW Strikers in Fundamental Struggle

Rep. Dan Kildee, a Michigan lawmaker, expressed his support for the United Auto Workers (UAW) strike, calling it a "fundamental struggle" that will benefit not only the workers but also the entire community. The UAW is demanding higher wages, shorter work weeks, union representation for battery plant workers, and better retirement benefits. The strike has expanded to 38 additional plants, excluding Ford, as negotiations continue. Kildee criticized Sen. Tim Scott's opposition to the strike, stating that it would be a step back for workers' rights and the middle class.
