because tracy chapman is standing next to me. i absolutely loved it, so i thank them both for bringing us that special, special song to take us off the air tonight. and on that note, i wish you a very good night. from all of our colleagues across the networks of nbc news, thanks for staying up late with me. i ll see you again at the end of tomorrow. at the end of tomorrow. really happy to have you here. happy monday. so in september, you might remember that there was a big strike. united auto workers went on strike, they called it a stand up strike, which means they didn t strike every single factory, every single facility all at once, they strategically picked individual plants to strike and pick it. and it was so they could basically keep up the pressure on the companies but also be nimble about it while their negotiations were going on. a strike is about what leverage you can use against the companies. this was a strategy that was about fine-tuning their le
from bolting and going to somewhere where they could be in the uaw. and the public reaction to this was interesting.bl the public was overwhelmingly in support of the autoworkers while they were on this strike. polls showed like 75% of the public supported the autoworkers in this strike.rt so this is a historic thing, a a big deal. but if you think back to september, right when we were at the start of it, before we knew it would work, before we knew it would be successful, before we knew how it would turn out, how much public opinion would be in support of these guys, when we were less than two weeks into that strike, do you remember what president biden did? you might remember. president biden went to michigan and joined the autoworkers. from the white house, he had been supporting them vocally. he had been trying to help facilitate negotiations but once they indeed went on strike, he physically went to michigan to w one of the plants that was being picketed and he stood wit
good to see you. and thanks to you at home for joining us. really happy to have you here. happy monday. so in september, you might remember there was a big strike. united autoworkers went on strike. they called it a stand-up strike, which means they didn t strike every single factory, every single facility all at once. they strategically picked individual plants to strike and picket. and it was so they could basically keep up the pressure on the companies but also be nimble about it while the negotiations were going on. a strike is about what leverage you can use against the companies. this was a strategy that was about fine tuning their leverage. so they did a stand-up strike. that said, it was not a small thing. it was a huge strike. it was the first time ever that the uaw went on strike against all three major u.s. car companies all at once. but they did it. and in the end, it paid off hugely. the strike ultimately lasted about a month and a half. it lasts 46 days. and i
Evening. Investigators say the victim was jaywalking from the rio side of valley view crossing over, heading to the viking road side. He was struck by the suv at the second of the three northbound lanes. Investigators say the driver immediately stopped, and is coopering hes also not suspected of being impaired from either drugs and alcohol. Metro says while theyre still investigating the case. It seems like it could have been avoidable had the pedestrian not jaywalked. Metro police its difficult to understand why folks end up in a situation like this. I mean if you were crossing from casino to casino, theres a much closer crosswalk, and even if you found your way out to the south end of these parking structures and wanted to cross, this one is literally 100 feet away from where our accident occured so a couple extra steps and he could have been in a crosswalk with signals, overhead lighting, its where drivers expect you to expected for the driver. And no word yet as to whether or not t
