The big 3 made over $21 billion in profits in the first half of this year. This isn't about fighting over scraps, it's about fighting for a fair share of the wealth produced by workers.

That's gross profit, which doesn't mean cash.

The profit was about 4b which, okay let's give everyone in UAW a share of that and... Oh it's so small that it doesn't fix anything?

There's also exec comp, stock buybacks, dividends, etc.

The big 3 also had $354 billion in debt. Will workers pay that down too?
