Trump continues to lie to cover up for his broken promises to autoworkers. Meanwhile, General Motors workers are devastated Trump failed to protect their jobs.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, autoworkers are devastated by Trump\u2019s repeated lies and broken promise to protect their jobs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought he was going to do miracles for us, so did a lot of other autoworkers. \u2026 He needs to step up to the plate and do what he said.\u2019\u201d – 26-year GM Lordstown worker<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cSo far, I haven\u2019t been real hopeful that the president\u2019s going to have a desire or an ability to make any changes in this area.\u201d – President of UAW Local 1112 in Lordstown <\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cYou give corporate America a whole bunch of money, they\u2019re going to do what\u2019s best for corporate America.\u201d – Lordstown business owner<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s hard to keep on thinking that he\u2019s going to fight for us.\u201d – Previously laid-off GM Lordstown worker<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI hope he does do something about the thousands of jobs companies are still sending abroad. But he hasn\u2019t done anything about Carrier, Honeywell, or Harley-Davidson. Basically, since he\u2019s been in office, it has been an assault on good-paying jobs. What he\u2019s doing is not translating into anything good for middle-class America.\u201d – 20-year GM Lordstown worker<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cSome people were crying…I looked over and saw people who looked like they had the flu, turning white.\u201d – 23-year GM Lordstown worker<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI was literally nauseous yesterday when I walked out of there.\u201d – 18-year GM Lordstown worker<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s disgusting, my stomach hurts.\u201d – 10-year GM Lordstown worker<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
