I’m going on the caravan to D.C. because the workers need a say. This country has a bad perception of auto workers—they think we sit back and make all this money. I’ve been on the line for 34 years, and I know we do hard work. We’re the ones who have sacrificed with concessions and wage freezes, but when the companies get back on their feet, the big cats get the bonuses. The companies mismanaged the money. How can executives make 374 times more than a rank and filer? They need a set wage like we have. Then we could be more competitive, and there would be a lot more cash flow for future endeavors.
