minus-square@Clbull@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink11•edit-210 months agoIf Fox News ran the same poll, it would be 75% in favour of auto companies. Don’t underestimate the media’s ability to push a narrative, because I think if 75% of Americans were pro union, the Republican and Democrat Parties would be finished.
minus-square@droans@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink4•10 months agoI don’t think 75% are pro-union, but a large number are pretty resentful about the current cost of vehicles. If I’m forced to pay extra for a car, I’d want to know that the extra was going to the factory workers instead of their bottom line.
