In short, it's up to us to fight for the American worker, and to hold corporations and elected officials accountable. @GM workers like the ones in Lordstown did right by their company. It's time for GM to do right by them. #DriveItHomeOhio https://t.co/KA8fdzc7Sh
NEW REPORT from @AFTunion & @GoHedgeClippers: @GM Lordstown closure follows a four-year war waged by Wall Street hedge fund managers to force more stock buybacks, short-term cash payouts and inflated dividends.

We shouldn’t be closing the @GM plants in Lordstown and other cities. Retrofitting those plants would keep in-demand cars supplied, and keep families and jobs in their communities. #SaveGMLordstown https://t.co/XRmUnW1wQC
OFT Pres. @mcropper1, @LordstownTeach Pres. Alyssa Brookbank & Lee Geisse from @BGAlliance were among those supporting #SaveGMLordstown at the Mahoning Valley St. Patrick’s Day Parade yesterday.
