    In case you're in a hurry here's the jist for the linked article

    Twenty-five thousand auto workers from General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis are now on strike. UAW President Shawn Fain announced two more plants would be joining the walkout. The union is playing the companies against each other with an unpredictable strike strategy. Workers are demanding higher wages to keep up with inflation, elimination of tiers, and protection from plant closures. A majority of Americans support the striking workers according to a new poll. President Biden visited picket lines in a show of solidarity with the union’s fight against corporate greed.

    Fain drew a parallel between auto workers building bombers in WWII and those battling corporate greed today through their strike.
