Received this e-mail last night from Lt. Governor John Fetterman’s (D. PA) U.S. Senate campaign:
Hi, it’s John.
Last week, I was proud to support BCTGM Local 374-G’s fund for striking Kellogg’s workers here in PA.
Now, I am proud to stand in *full* solidarity with UAW and the 10,000 John Deere workers striking nationwide for a fair contract + better pay.

If you're able to, I am respectfully asking you to join me in supporting UAW members walking the picket line right now:
Will you please chip in $5 or more to UAW’s strike fund today? Every dollar in the strike fund goes directly to food + supplies for striking John Deere workers across the country.

Look, John Deere is a multi-billion dollar corporation. The company has already posted historic profits this year of almost $5 billion dollars.
But those who create the wealth must share in it, you know? The John Deere workers who helped make that possible should be able to live in dignity. They deserve a fair contract + higher wages RIGHT NOW.
That’s exactly why 10,000 UAW members, mostly in Iowa and Illinois, are walking the picket line as you read this email — and they could really use our help.
Can you please chip in to UAW’s strike fund as an act of solidarity? Even $5 will help UAW reach its goal of raising $25,000 into the strike fund to support workers.

The union way of life is sacred, and we should *always* protect it. Thanks for standing with me.
In solidarity,
John
John Fetterman
Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania
