| Obama weighs in on Volvo strike |
|
http://www.wdbj7.com/Global/story.asp?S=7813718 Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama supports the striking auto workers in Dublin. Obama released a statement Saturday about the strike: "I stand with the workers who are striking Volvo. The union's demands - job security, health benefits and safety protections - are basic guarantees that all workers should expect and that UAW members deserve. Volvo has a responsibility to work with the UAW so that union members can go back to work." Workers went on strike midnight Thursday. They say they are not striking about money, but about basic safety and health protections.  |
