Milford, IL | Haven't seen this in the national news yet, some Twitter memos between Shawn Fain and his inner circle were leaked this morning. Link below

For those that don't want to click the link, Jonah Furman - UAW communications director says
"(I)f we can keep them wounded for months they don't know what to do. The beauty is we've laid it all out in the public and they're still helpless to stop it." and
"(Two) years ago I was writing labor notes articles about John Deere. Now we're striking all 3 of the Big 3 and gonna' win some historic gains. CNN is carrying our comms and picket line live. The White House calling concerned about what we might say. Members screaming 'I LOVE YOU' to our folksy gen x class struggle christian white dude from Indiana who quotes Malcolm X," an apparent reference to UAW President Fain.
I do feel badly for the employees told to strike who are receiving reduced pay and I wonder if this will affect negotiations going forward.
