If you thought winning a $20 fast food minimum wage and a sector council, and demanding a $25 minimum wage for waffle house workers broke the right wings brains, just wait!

Unions have **trillions** of dollars in pension funds that could be a weapon to help the working class. But more typically that money gets invested in ways that fund the retirement of one generation of workers by exploiting the next generation.

It’s happening! At midnight thousands of autoworkers strategically shut down three huge plants.
For the first time ever the UAW is striking the three big companies simultaneously.
And all of us should support them, because this strike could help the whole working class.
