Congressman Tim Ryan (OH-13) issued the following statement regarding the start of contract negotiations between the United Automobile Workers (UAW) and General Motors (GM). Members of UAW Local 1112 who worked at GM Lordstown arrived in Detroit, Michigan this morning to rally in support of their union. GM closed five plants in North America this year, including one in Lordstown, Ohio.

"I stand with the each and every UAW member fighting for their rights as they start contract negotiations with GM today. These men and women travelled from Lordstown and other cities across the nation to make their voices heard. They have dedicated their entire lives building GM's award-winning cars and they deserved better. I urge GM to negotiate in good faith and put the priorities of their workers first," said Congressman Ryan.
