Good morning, his Friday, September 29th. It's Kendall and Casey on 93 WIBC. And on the WIBC hotline,

0:08.4

we have Tony Kinnit from the future. Tony Kinnit cast Tony to some traveling venture to Michigan,

0:14.8

talked to some people at the UAW plants. And now we get to hear what he found out.

0:20.7

Good morning. And it's good to be back in Indiana. All right, Kinnit. So you went to Michigan. You

0:25.2

went to see the pick at hers. You went to see the people from the UAW. You did a big investigative

0:30.6

piece. What is going on? Basically everyone on the union line we're being told is like this big

0:37.1

Democrat supporter that loves Joe Biden and loves Democrat policies and thinks Bidenomics is just

0:42.9

super duper. And no, that's not the case at all that I hear a lot of people saying the

0:48.3

I'm going to vote blue except for Donald Trump, which is something we heard a lot of in 2016.

1:19.2

the election, he has more than a fighting chance in my opinion. Okay. So do the workers believe

1:27.1

because there's a lot of people and we hear from them who are looking at I want 40% pay raise,

1:31.5

I want for it away. They work week. There's a lot of people looking at that going that's ridiculous.

1:37.2

Do these people see how society is seeing them? Yeah. And a lot of you people on the line that we've

1:43.7

spoken to outside the Ford Assembly plant do not think that they're going to be getting 40%

1:48.0

raises and four day work week. It's just not a saying a lot. So there's basically two opinions

1:54.2

on that. Number one, they think, well, they're asking for more because we'll end up getting somewhere

1:59.2

in the middle. And as we've seen, the automakers already suggested a 20% raise, which hey, I mean,

2:04.7

I would have taken, but they the union leadership did not, which by the way upset people on the line
