UAW Responds to Record GM Revenue by Striking at Company's Most Profitable Plant: Roughly 5,000 United Auto Workers members walked off the job at General Motors' most profitable plant in North America on Tuesday shortly after the company posted earnings that surpassed Wall Street's expectations, reporting nearly $3.1 billion in third-quarter profits. "It's time GM workers, and the whole working class, get their fair share," UAW president Shawn Fain said in response to the company's earnings report, which comes more than a month into the union's historic strike at the Big Three U.S. automakers. Including the surprise walkout at GM's Arlington Assembly Plant in Texas—the production site of the company's Chevrolet Tahoe Cadillac Escalade—around 45,000 UAW members are currently on strike across GM, Ford, and Stellantis.

Don’t allow apathy to prevail in 2024, by John Young
The disbelief in the room was audible. I had just informed students in my college mass media class that – yes – a felon could be president. A multiple felon.
