Well paid workers pay your salary, Mich. Typically these things turn into "they are making more than I do" fests to pit the poor and rubes against each other.

Another "Mitchell Minute" video. I've posted vids by him before, you'll recognize him.
September 16, 2023-The CEOs of the big three are paid tens of millions of dollars a year while the average UAW worker makes about $78,000 a year. That inequality is the real obscenity against which the UAW is fighting.

I don't love CNN's Michael Smerconish that much, but I'm a huge fan of Scott Galloway, "Prof G", whose part begins at ~ 3:25. But you should watch the intro too, for perspective. Prof G makes some very valid points about unions, strikes, the relatively dismal state that labor, i.e., lower and middle class Americans find themselves today, and he proposes a rather shocking, to me, solution.
(If you don't agree, you always sue me.)
Scott Galloway, marketing professor at NYU Stern School of Business, joins CNN’s Michael Smerconish to discuss the surge in union strikes and the support these receive from the public.

It's so difficult to decide which of the two major political parties supports workers more. If only there was a tell.
Or, Today In: "Small government", "Limited government", "Let business be business", "Free market", "Free enterprise", "A government so small you can drown it in a bathtub", "conservative", republicanism:
“I think Ronald Reagan gave us a great example when federal employees decided they were gonna strike … You strike, you're fired. Simple concept to me.”
— Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), when asked if he would insert himself into the issue of the United Auto Workers strike

Howsabout a little love for Biden being the first ever potus to join a picket line
Re: Strikes

"Love"?
I'll never be able to forget that time about 17 years ago when Biden went grocery shopping at a non-unionized Piggly Wiggly in Akron, when he could have gone shopping at a unionized Kroger in Montrose that was only ~ 12.5 miles away. Ever since then, I've haven't taken a single word he's said about being "pro-worker", or "pro-union, seriously.

I know this is tongue in cheek, but FWIW, many Krogers, including the one I shop at, are unionized. 2/3 in fact.Shirley wrote: ↑Tue Sep 26, 2023 8:44 pm"Love"?

Yea, Shirley’s prob right.
Thought I meant it (or at least wanna mean it) as sincere credit, I too have this awful feeling it’s just another hollow performative gesture; just something he can use as a talking point on the campaign trail, even tho he’s really prob about to turn around and like sign another law to make strikes illegal again or something.

What Bernie thinks: Today, for the first time in American history, a President stood on a picket line defending American workers. That’s a big deal.
In taking on the corporate greed of the auto industry, the UAW is fighting for every American worker. They’re fighting for us. Let’s stand with them

"Let me be blunt: ( UAW VP for GM Jamie L LaReau) Coming to Michigan to speak at a nonunion employer and pretending it has anything to do with our fight at the Big Three is just more verbal diarrhea from the former president."

If the governor of California can order a pay raise for fast food workers, then why can’t he do the same for Kaiser or SAG, UAW,employees?. (Although there are other issues beside pay raises.) It seems a little odd.
