“They could double our raises and not raise car prices and still make millions of dollars in profits,” Fain said. “We’re not the problem. Corporate greed is the problem.”

This is every major corporation in America right now, not just the auto companies. It's scandalous. We should all be unionizing and striking for better wages and benefits.

Fortunately I have never felt the need to join a union but I understand the need in some areas.
