Supporters of the GM UAW strike rallied and sang in San Leandro on 9/28/19 as part of an international day of action at GM dealerships.

Many drivers showed solidarity by honking their horns against two tiers and the use of temporary workers by GM. Also, a worker at the dealership said that the strike parts shortage was stopping repairs on their GM vehicles.

They also talked about the struggle of GM workers in Mexico, Korea and around the world.
