The billionaire class has been taken everything and the working class has been left scraping,

paycheck to paycheck, just trying to survive.

It's time to put it into that class war.

For the first time ever, thousands of United Auto Workers members are striking against

Detroit's big three auto companies and walking off the assembly lines.

The Union-United Auto Workers walked out of three factories, one at each of the big

three automakers, four General Motors and Stellantis, the parent company of Jeep and Chrysler.

So far, it's a pretty limited strike.

It's one factory at each company, but it is historic in that they are striking against

all three companies at one time, which has not happened in the past.

This is Gene Whalen.

She covers the auto industry for the post, and she's watching this strike and the more

militant stance taken by the UAW's leader, Sean Fame.

And so he came to power saying, we're going to do this differently, we're going to really

fight hard, there's been this big period of inflation, we want more and we're going

to go after it.

And it's time to pick a side, either you're with the billionaire class, or you're with

the working class.

My colleague, Lauren Gurley, has been out on the picket line at the Ford plant in Michigan

the last few days, and she talked to a worker named Jared Politi.

It's about the corporate green, you know, they're just banking billions of dollars.

Jared said he's been living with his mom because he can't afford his own place on his wages.
