United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain called Tuesday for Congress to "step up" for the working class and for the fight for "economic justice" to happen in "the streets," characterizing a failure to achieve the goal as a "national security risk."

Fain's prepared remarks were scheduled to come alongside comments from Sean O'Brien, president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, and Sara Nelson, international president of the Association of Flight Attendants-Communication Workers of America, during a hearing before the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions called “Standing Up Against Corporate Greed: How Unions are Improving the Lives of Working Families."

Unions are the only way normal people can have any political weight against corporate interests, which are plaguing governments. And remember people, you get the union that you deserve(that means, fucking participate instead of complaining about HoA Karen that managed your union for the last 20 years)
