STATEMENT BY CONGRESSMAN KILDEE ON UAW TENTATIVE AGREEMENTS

Press Release

"The Sit Down Strikes in my hometown of Flint led to the first collective bargaining agreement between workers and the automotive companies. Standing on the shoulders of these strikers, I congratulate the United Auto Workers for reaching historic agreements. I was proud to stand with the hardworking men and women of the UAW as they fought for a fair contract.

When workers stand together, they can achieve great things. UAW members want what every American wants--to put in an honest days' work for a good-paying job, a job that can support a family and allow workers to retire with dignity. In Congress, I will continue to be a champion for working people and unions so we can grow the middle class."
