Blog 4 Strike!

The worker's movement has reached a pivotal point as of recent today. It all started out with a strike against United Automobile Workers and GM. It was a strike over wages, health insurance premiums, and contracts. There was an amusement of UAW with a scandal of the leaders that had some charges of embezzlement of funds. Also, the strikers wanted to know what was going on at the bargaining table in Detroit.

This article from Nytimes has E. Tammy Kim a contributing opinion writer for The New York Times this author argues that UAW is fighting Gm and making their fight their own. While Kim was interviewing striking workers to see what they've done in the company and since technology has improved they operate robots to pick boxes off shelves. She also interviews some temp workers and they earn barely over the minimum amount which sounds outrageous. The fact that the strikers all know that there is always going to be a change in a company like GM.

I agree that workers should get higher pay and I'm with them on strike in order to get better pay. Even though they might be some corruption going on in the UAW or theories that could be created against UAW. Having higher wages and better health benefits is what everyone wants but what they want is not always going to happen that why GM said that it would be better for the strikers to go back to work rather then hold signs on the streets protesting. There is always going to be changed in a company and not everyone is going to like it whether it's for the best or worse.

Reading from Washington post about President Trump i've gathered. That during a phone call with Ukranian President, Volodymyr Zelenskiy Trump wanted to start an investigation towards Joe Biden Vice President and son of Hunter Biden. During Obama's Presidency when Joe Biden was Vice President he got his son Hunter Biden in good political standing. A lot of the allegations started a year after Trump became President. The allegations Biden has were stuff he was doing during his Vice Presidency pulling aid from Ukraine and got top prosecutor fired. Hunter Biden became the top prosecutor after Biden got previous prosecutor fired. Trump stop sending aid to Ukraine because of the allegations. The allegations of President Trump started when he wanting to start an investigation on Joe Biden. Someone found the phone call between Trump and Zelenskiy and got to national news. Trump is denying it and point fingers at Joe Biden for his allegations. Biden is denying those allegations and saying that Trump did have the phone call with the President of Ukraine. The intended audience that the author is trying to reach out towards is the American people (future Trump supporters) my opinion is that this information has been hidden from us all along. This shows that with the elections soon arriving I believe the author is trying to discourage people from voting for Trump because of the allegations he has. All the author is doing is conveying to people and stirring them away from Trump. I greatly agree with the authors write up it will change the view of how the next elections will go.
