UAW President Shawn Fain lambasts auto execs while wearing 'EAT THE RICH' Tshirt
"UAW President Shawn Fain, wearing an "EAT THE RICH" T-shirt, passionately denounced auto executives for looking down on working-class auto workers in a speech on Facebook Live on Friday.
But first, Fain touted a major win: He said that GM had agreed to cover battery workers in the same contract as assembly line workers. That's a significant breakthrough in talks, one car companies had previously said would be a non-starter.
The progress meant Fain did not announce an expansion of the strike as he has in each of the previous two weeks.
But the news that negotiations are moving along did not come with any relaxation of the intense, combative rhetoric that has become a trademark of Fain's UAW presidency."
