Ohio Congressman and Democratic Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich, the only card-carrying union member among the Democratic candidates, issued a statement of support today for the UAW members who have gone on strike against General Motors.
“I strongly support the leadership and the membership of the UAW in their efforts to secure a new contract that provides job security, a fair wage, and solid benefits for workers and retirees,” Kucinich said.
He said that business decisions by GM management, not its workers, have contributed to the company’s financial problems. “You can’t blame UAW members for those bad decisions, and it’s unfair for the company to try to pay for those decisions by demanding more and bigger concessions from workers.”
