AFSCME’s Saunders: ‘UAW workers are striking for all working people
WASHINGTON — AFSCME President Lee Saunders released the following statement after the United Auto Workers (UAW) announced plans to expand their strike:
“UAW workers are striking for all working people. 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. That is why we stand with UAW in this fight, and we will continue to be by their side until they get the dignity and respect they are owed.
