          cc @AOC who was just tweeting about how disgraceful it is that healthcare is used as leverage. Great coverage, Mike.

          I'm politically conservative. I don't want a Bring-Your-Own-#Guillotine #Revolution. But the basic injustice and tactics of #GMStrike is compelling. Then Trump's trying to cut SNAP. Plus #ConcentrationCamps and fer' cryin' out loud #FlintWaterCrisis is still a thing?#HandsOffSNAPpic.twitter.com/1RcEjdWaZZ

          Another reason for national health care these large corps care about nothing but the bottom line , they use healthcare as a carrot like they’re doing u a favor

          Playing devil's advocate here. From what I understand, suspension of benefits is sop when a strike happens. It is also sop for the union to have certain benefits in place before they go on strike. Either the union dropped the ball or they did o it on purpose to make GM look bad.
