The Big Three auto companies are making record profits, and it’s time for auto workers to get their fair share. When the auto industry was in jeopardy back in 2008, UAW workers made real sacrifices to ensure the Big Three survived. Now that these companies are back on their feet – and making billions of dollars in profit – workers deserve a fair share of that success.

I recently joined striking UAW workers on the picket lines to stand in solidarity with them as they fight for the wages and benefits they deserve. They’re not just fighting for auto workers – they’re fighting for the future of the middle class, and it’s time to stand with them.

For me – and for many in our state – this fight is personal. I grew up in a union household. My mother was a Service Employees International Union steward, and my father was a member of the National Education Association. They taught me to stand up and fight for what’s right — no matter who or what is in your way — and so much of who I am today is because of them.

Unions built the middle class, and I’ll continue to have their backs as they fight for a fairer future for all workers.
