I'm on strike. Sign my petition to General Motors.

Sign the petition telling General Motors to quickly and fairly negotiate a contract with workers.

Dear MoveOn member,

My name is Meme Edwards. I have worked for General Motors in Michigan for more than two decades, but right now I'm on strike along with tens of thousands of colleagues from 70 facilities in 19 states. We demand fair wages, a fair share of profits for workers, a path to permanent employment for temporary workers, affordable health care, and job security.

Sign the petition telling GM to quickly and fairly negotiate a contract with workers.

Nearly 50,000 autoworkers are striking. Add your name if you agree General Motors should listen to United Auto Workers to quickly and fairly negotiate a new contract.

I met my husband working at this plant. We raised our daughters and bought a home in the time we've been here. We have been able to make a stable, middle-class living through this work. But General Motors isn't keeping up with the times, and workers are getting left behind.

For instance, there's an increased reliance on "permatemps," workers who are not given the benefits of full-time employees even though they work just as hard.

Sign the petition telling General Motors to come to the table in good faith and negotiate an equitable contract.

Let's be honest here. General Motors made billions of dollars in profits last year. We build the products that made those profits possible. We're just asking for a fair share based on all that General Motors workers do for the company and the American public.

Whether you are a union member, a supportive friend and family, or a concerned member of the public, we hope you sign this petition to support hard-working American families.

Thanks!

—Meme Edwards and International Union, United Auto Workers
