“This contract is about more than just economic gains for autoworkers,” Fain said in a speech on Sunday designed to explain the agreement with Ford. “It’s a turning point in the class war that’s been raging in this country for the past 40 years."
Yea I like this guy.
I like the part about the contract next expiring right before May day 2028, and them inviting other unions to adapt the same schedule.
That could be huge, I hope they follow suit
As someone who works for a union, seeing all the unions working for better benefits for its workers happening big over the last few years…. I’m looking forward to our next contract negotiations.
Can we not call it "militancy"? Using that word here dilutes the meaning for actual violent regimes. There are plenty of other options like staunch, regimented, steadfast, etc.
Yeah, when I heard the word militancy I thought that the Union had been taking up arms or something
