The Workers Bailed This Company Out. Then They Got Screwed.

'Now we have the war' | Nearly 1,000 UAW workers remain on strike in Three Rivers | wzzm13.com

Nearly 1,000 workers at a key supplier for GM's pickup trucks have gone on strike, and their story says a lot about what has happened to the American working class over the last two decades.

During the financial crisis, these workers accepted major concessions and pay cuts to help keep the company alive. They were told the sacrifices were necessary. They were told better days were ahead.

The company survived.

The profits came back.

But many workers say the promises never did.

Now, after nearly 18 years of waiting, they're demanding their share—and they're willing to walk off the job to get it.

In this video, we break down the strike, the history behind it, and why so many working Americans feel like they've been asked to sacrifice while everyone else cashes in.
