oday, U.S. Representative Mark Pocan (WI-02), co-chair and co-founder of the Congressional Labor Caucus, joined a United Auto Workers (UAW) picket line with workers from UAW Local 75 in Milwaukee, WI.

“Workers made concessions when the auto manufacturers needed help – now that the companies are making record profits, they need to support their workers. While executives continue to give themselves raises, many hard-working employees who keep these plants running have struggled to make ends meet. Auto workers keep our economy running and our country moving. It was inspiring to stand in solidarity with Local 75 – and all UAW workers – in their fight for better wages, stronger safety standards, and dignity at work.”
