Republicans blame the UAW workers.
They blame EVs.
They blame the union.
They blame Biden.
It’s all from the playbook:
Blame everyone except the millionaires and corporations who profit off screwing workers. Protect the economic elites at all cost.
As you follow the @UAW strike, please remember:
In 2022, GM CEO Mary Barra was paid $538,000...
...EVERY SINGLE WEEK OF THE YEAR.
In all, she's been paid more than $200 million in the last 9 years. https://t.co/J9e83Yprud
This is why the WGA keeps saying Management is “using the same old playbook” because there is a tried and true way to get labor to negotiate with itself: pretend a counteroffer was not a “genuine counter,” and confuse the timeline so our side argues itself into frustration.
To clarify:
August 11: Initial counter offer from AMPTP
August 15: WGA offers counterproposal
August 22: AMPTP publicly releases unchanged offer from August 11, ignoring WGA's August 15 counterproposal entirely

This bears repeating over and over and over. I’ve heard from 3 executive friends that the WGA had never countered to the AMPTPs offer. That the WGA negotiating committee is in over their heads. So you have to repeat this timeline as often as necessary so it eventually sinks in.
“Starting Monday, this picket line will be moving to Radford Avenue. We will have an observer here [on Colfax] because this will turn into a neutral gate, and we’re gonna finally be picketing in the fucking shade!” @whipsical#WGAstrike#1u#WGAstrong https://t.co/HQemUU33kn
Here’s an infuriating idea: If Lauren Boebert wins again in 2024, she becomes eligible for a lifetime congressional pension – paid for by you, the taxpayer.
If that doesn’t make you want to give $10 right now to Adam Frisch’s campaign to defeat Boebert, we don’t know what will.
The AMPTP not only wanted to own background actors specific likeness forever, but wanted to feed 100 YEARS OF ACTING PERFORMANCES (for a nominal fee) to train the GAI models. So all our work could be frankensteined into “new” #AI characters. And NO consent from any of the actors.
