minus-squareClbull@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up13arrow-down2·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-squaredroans@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·10 months agoI don’t think 75% are pro-union, but a large number are pretty resentful about the current cost of vehicles.
