So, GM workers are striking for more pay, affordable health insurance, and job security.
If we implemented Medicare-for-all, there would be no need for GM workers to add unaffordable health insurance to there list of grievances.
Every worker needs a bigger paycheck so that’s a no-brainer.
As for job security, how is it that after Trump promised to “Make America Great Again” by keeping American jobs right here in America, he chooses to do nothing as GM moves several factories to Mexico and China and fire hundreds of GM workers in the process?
Somebody is lying.
