Watch Burnes Center Senior Fellow Seth Harris in conversation with returning guests Glenn Kage and Don Looney, two front-line UAW members from Local 2250. Hear their update about the strike against General Motors in Wentzville, Missouri. 

Almost a month into the UAW strike against the Big 3, get an update from these union leaders on members' mood about the ongoing negotiations, the conversations happening between UAW union members, the stand-up strike strategy, and more. This blogcast is not only informative, but fun. This is absolutely a conversation you don't want to miss.

Don Looney is a dedicated fighter for equity in education, access to public education, workers' rights, and a better future for our state and country. He currently serves as the Wentzville Township Committeeman and represents the 2nd Congressional District in the Democratic State Party. Looney is a member of UAW Local 2250 where he serves as the Co-Chair of the Legislative Committee. 

Glenn Kage is the current legislative chair and former president of Local 2250 representing Wentzville workers. He has dedicated many hours to the picket lines since the historic stand-up strike began on September 15th, 2023. When he's not on the front lines, Kage takes to TikTok to share footage from the day and to educate people on unions, strikes, and other collective action.
