On CNN’s “Inside Politics” Thursday, Congresswoman and U.S. Senate candidate Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) said “the stage for these negotiations” between the automakers and the UAW was set by significant profits for automakers and the fact that “the people who work in these facilities… are struggling and have less money in their pockets because of inflation.
Slotkin said: “I just think the stage for these negotiations was set before they even really started. There are our big three, who are making, in some cases, record profits, and there are the people who work in these facilities, who are struggling and have less money in their pockets because of inflation. So, I think the truth is we knew September was going to be exciting. It’s an exciting September. Nobody wants a long strike. We know what this does to Michigan. We know what this does to the people who work in these facilities and across the country. But I think as someone who has negotiated international agreements, you set the stage for these negotiations in the weeks leading up to them. And that’s what happened. That’s until tonight.
