The United Auto Workers union just a month ago won a 33% raise for GM workers and a 30% raise for Ford workers.

Unifor just won a 25% raise for Stellantis workers 2 months ago.

Just 2 months ago the Writers Union just won raises to compensation, health benefits, pensions, and protections against AI.

Just a few weeks ago SAG-AFTRA reached a tentative deal to secure compensation increases, benefits, improvements to royalties & residuals, and protections against AI.

So literally in the last 3 months we've seen unions win major compensation improvements for nearly 2 million workers.

Absolutely, people do not want to share.
