UAW, Hollywood strikes: Workers 'taking inspiration from each other,' SEIU president says

The UAW is expanding its strike against General Motors (GM) and Stellantis (STLA). Autoworkers are still striking Ford (F), but the will not widen the scope of the strike because progress has been made in negotiations. The summer saw lots of labor activity, Hollywood actors and writers going on strike and Teamsters getting a new deal from United Parcel Service (UPS). Service Employees International Union President Mary Kay Henry says workers are saying "enough is enough. You're doing better as a company, I need to do better as a working person in this country." When asked if labor unions are being more active now because the labor market is so tight, Henry says it's a different conversation. Henry points out that workers are taking on economic risk when they go on strike. "I think what is happening across the economy is workers are taking inspiration from each other," Henry says.
