A year ago at this time, members of the United Auto Workers Union were feeling powerful and optimistic. The group's new President Shawn Fain had called a historic strike. For the first time, the Union walked out on ALL three big automakers.
It was a bold move that by most measures worked. It ultimately brought Ford, GM and Stellantis much closer to the union's demands for historic raises and new job protections.
The strike's success had people predicting a bigger and more powerful union.
A year on the union is still staring down some major challenges.

Lost Debate - The Ticking U.S. Debt Bomb
Ravi sits down with Dylan Matthews, senior correspondent and lead writer at Vox, to unpack the complexities of the national debt and deficit in the United States. They explore the historical context of the country's debt, the mechanisms of government borrowing, and the evolving political landscape around fiscal responsibility. Ravi and Dylan discuss how Americans experience the deficit on a day-to-day basis, including the true cost of healthcare spending, before turning to the key forces that drive fiscal policy, from immigration and demographic shifts to defense spending. Finally, as the U.S. edges closer to unprecedented levels of debt, they consider the solutions policymakers may propose to stabilize the economy.
