#Striketober is here. Around the country, workers who have kept our country running through the pandemic while their bosses raked in billions are standing up for their rights, demanding better pay and safer working conditions.
Our polling has shown that voters support workers using their voices to rebalance the American economy, which is tilted heavily against workers. Whether it’s Amazon’s union vote or passing the PRO Act, voters are on the side of working people!
In 2020, John Deere’s CEO, John May received a 160% salary increase in the same year the company netted $2.75 billion in profit. This year, Deere is expected to make between $5.7 and $5.9 billion in revenue after increasing prices by 8%. But that profit isn’t being shared with John Deere workers. That’s why they’re on strike.
Show that you stand with workers and sign on to support John Deere workers today!
In solidarity,
