What A Day

Autoworkers, Roll Out!

The United Auto Workers Union is on strike at all three of Detroit’s major automakers — General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis. This is the first time in history it’s done that. Nearly 13,000 workers walked off the job at three auto plants across the country on Friday to fight for better wages and benefits as negotiations for a new labor contract continue.And in headlines: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was acquitted of all the impeachment charges against him, tens of thousands of protesters marched in Manhattan to call on world leaders to end the usage of fossil fuels, and Drew Barrymore reversed the decision to bring back her talk show amid the Hollywood writers’ strike.Show Notes:What A Day – YouTube – <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast</a>Crooked Coffee is officially here.
