Progressive Congresswomen Rally in Support of UAW Workers in Wentzville

Democratic congresswomen Cori Bush and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez showed their support for United Auto Workers (UAW) at a rally in Wentzville, Missouri. The UAW strike, which began on September 15, aims to pressure GM, Ford, and Stellantis to improve pay and benefits. Bush and Ocasio-Cortez addressed around 400 UAW members and supporters, emphasizing the need for fair wages and criticizing the wealth disparity between executives and workers. The UAW has expanded its strikes against GM and Stellantis, while negotiations with the Big Three automakers continue. Other political leaders, including President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, are expected to meet with workers in Michigan this week.
