Congressman Dan Kildee Meets with Michigan Auto Workers, Pushes for Economic Growth and Better Wages
Congressman Dan Kildee (MI-05) today met with Michigan members of the United Auto Workers (UAW) to discuss the federal budget, preserving pensions, Social Security and Medicare. During the meeting, Congressman Kildee highlighted the need for Congress to pass a long-term budget that provides certainty for our economy and greater opportunity for workers and their families.
"I am proud to represent so many hardworking Michiganders, including the men and women of the UAW," Congressman Kildee said. "In Michigan, we have a strong manufacturing heritage that helps to propel our state's economy and employs hundreds of thousands of workers in good-paying jobs. My top priority in Congress is continuing to grow our economy and ensure workers see rising wages."

During their meeting, Congressman Kildee also discussed the recently passed Republican tax plan, which raises taxes on many working families while giving massive, permanent tax cuts to the richest Americans. This past weekend, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (WI-01) bragged about handing a tax cut of just $1.50 per week to workers, while at the same time giving away billions of dollars in permanent tax breaks to corporations and the wealthy.
Congressman Kildee has been a long time champion of Michigan's working families. In September 2017, Congressman Kildee visited General Motor's Flint Assembly and joined workers on the assembly line to help better understand the important contributions they make every day to our economy.
