Corporate greed could cost them $5 billion in just 10 days.

As a car salesman, this will cost me some money. As a guy who believes everyone should be in a union and have a goodpaying job, go get it boys. Shut it down for as long as it takes.

Alright, let's do this.

I’m on the side of the workers, of course, but this pisses me off.
