While companies like John Deere set to bringing in over $4-$5 billion in profits a year, and CEOs are getting 100% raises, increasing their salaries to $10-20 million, workers are getting a pittance of that — if anything.

And, it looks as though they’re sick of it.

On this episode of the Democratic Voice podcast, La Crosse County Democratic Party chair William Garcia and I discuss the strikes happening across the country — from Danny DeVito siding with Nabisco workers and getting banned from social media for it, to the suits getting on the John Deere assembly line, then having to call an ambulance by 8 a.m. the first day.
