Sen. Bernie Sanders to address UAW strike rally in Detroit after slamming automakers for 'corporate greed'

Sen. Bernie Sanders will join UAW President Shawn Fain at a rally in Detroit at 5 p.m. , where he will address striking workers.

The independent senator from Vermont has promoted the strikes as a pivotal moment in a broader campaign to raise living standards for working people across the U.S. The strikes are the first time in the labor movement's history that GM , Ford and Stellantis have been targeted at the same time.

The UAW is demanding a 40% hourly wage increase, a 32-hour workweek , and a return to traditional pensions.
