Workers bailed out the Big 3 auto manufacturers during the Great Recession to keep the companies afloat. Now these companies make billions in profit while workers see stagnant wages. That's not okay. I stand with striking Minnesota and Wisconsin United Auto Workers in Hudson.

This sustainable, solar-powered structure will house MIGIZI’s programs, including the Green Jobs program, which prepares Native students for careers in STEM and clean energy through an Indigenous lens.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govOct 6(source)

MIGIZI makes sure that Native youth in the Twin Cities have the opportunity to connect with their cultures, build careers and be community leaders. Today they opened the doors to a new facility.

Republicans stole two Supreme Court seats and appointed justices who flat out ignore precedent to do the bidding of Big Oil, Wall Street… really any right-wing, dark-money group with deep pockets. We need to expand the Court.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govOct 2(source)

I just want to chime in and reiterate that this lawsuit is because Wall Street and corporations want unchecked power to rip off consumers and the biggest entity standing in their way is the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

The fate of a financial watchdog rests in the Supreme Court's hands

The ruling could imperil the CFPB and other similarly funded financial regulators.

We owe it to Tribal Nations and Native families to do more. We need to pass the Truth and Healing Commission on Indian Boarding School Policies in the United States Act to take full accounting of what happened and help families heal.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govOct 1(source)

Understanding the generational trauma of boarding schools opens us up to the broader dialogue about addressing and reconciling historical injustices. That’s why I am so glad to see Secretary Haaland spearheading an effort to do just that.

Secretary Haaland Announces Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative

Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland announced a Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative, a comprehensive review of the troubled legacy of federal boarding school policies.

Her mother spent time at boarding schools. Jean spent seven years in boarding schools. She rarely saw her parents and was detached from Tribal culture, a burden she carries to this day. She’s always known she wanted to provide more for her children – including a real education.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govOct 1(source)

Jean was sent to three boarding schools, including one at Fort Totten in Devil’s Lake, North Dakota. Four girls shared an 8ft x 10ft room. They were silent in the cafeteria. They couldn't be outside without permission. They were shoved by teachers for visiting in the hall.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govOct 1(source)

Native American families carry the generational trauma of boarding schools, where the federal government systematically tried to erase their culture. It’s one of our nation’s greatest injustices. Let’s talk about Jean Brunkow, who is part of one of those families.

This is the power of organizing. This is the power of unions. This is the power of workers.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govSep 26(source)

Autoworkers made huge sacrifices to keep the Big 3 auto manufacturers afloat in the lead up to the 2008 financial crisis. The Big 3 wouldn’t be here (making staggering profits, I might add) if it wasn’t for workers. They deserve fair wages and benefits.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govSep 26(source)

No sitting President has ever gone to a picket line and stood firmly in solidarity with striking workers. Until now.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govSep 23(source)

Racial justice and economic justice go hand-in-hand. I spoke with Black entrepreneurs about how access to capital is key for those looking to improve their business and community. Investing in Black communities means expanding that access and creating opportunity for everyone.

My work – from fighting for reproductive rights to expanding access to mental health care and building a clean energy transition – is rooted in my experience as a working mom and organizer. Glad to join Samantha Bee at the MinnPost Festival to talk about my journey to the Senate!

The problem isn’t workers. The problem isn’t EVs. The problem isn’t unions. Those are scapegoats the Big 3 wants to use to distract the public. The real problem is companies stiffing their workers – UAW is making sure that doesn’t happen.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govSep 22(source)

But now these companies are making huge profits, so why aren’t the workers who rescued them getting their fair share? Families sacrificed to save companies that are now immensely profitable. They’re owed the dignity of fair wages and benefits.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govSep 22(source)

During the leadup to the 2008 financial crisis, UAW conceded benefits and wages to the Big 3 auto manufacturers to help bail them out. Workers like Ryder trusted these companies – workers knew the companies were in dire straits and wanted to pitch in and keep them alive.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govSep 22(source)

Ryder began working at Ford in 1994 when he was just 19 years old. He became a welder in 2016 and leads a maintenance team. I think his perspective on this strike is getting lost in the shuffle of media coverage on this current strike.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govSep 22(source)

The UAW is in his blood. Ryder’s grandmother worked at a Ford plant in New York. His father did too, until a plant closure forced them to move to Michigan. He remembers the UAW strike of the 1980s. His father never crossed the picket line – he painted houses to make ends meet.
