Leslie is joined by Eric Tate, Secretary Treasurer of Teamsters Local 848.

The two discuss the Union's vote to strike in response to Toyota opting not to share their $2.7 Billion dollar Trump tax break with the company's employees.

Employees at the Torrance, CA parts facility noted that although Toyota received a a $2.7 billion dollar federal tax break as a result of tax cuts recently enacted by President Trump and Congress, the company was offering the workers raises of just 1%.
