Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Marcia L. Fudge released a statement Thursday in response to the United Auto Workers’ strike resulting from stalled contract negotiations with General Motors, Co. 

“I stand in solidarity with the nearly 50,000 GM workers across the country who walked off the job this week to demand a better workplace.  These workers stood by GM during some of their toughest times.  It is time GM return the favor and stand by their workers.  The U.S. autoworkers on strike are fighting for the future of the middle class and the benefits needed, and deserved, to maintain care for themselves and their families.  I strongly urge GM to do what is right.  We must guarantee workers are protected and ensure a contract is signed without further delay.”
