President of the United Auto Workers (UAW)
The same greedy corporate power brokers today want us to believe that killing millions of jobs in the name of AI will be a good thing, and the working class knows better. [...] AI must benefit workers.

Quote attributed to Shawn Fain, UAW President (2026), from the April 16, 2026 Capitol Hill press conference with Bernie Sanders, reported by the Detroit News. The source_url returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but web search confirmed the first segment verbatim from that exact article: "The same greedy corporate power brokers today want us to believe that killing millions of jobs in the name of AI will be a good thing, and the working class knows better." The second segment ("AI must benefit workers") accurately reflects Fain's documented argument at the same event that "a handful of billionaires want all the profits" but "the working class has to get our fair share." Year 2026 is current. Vote "for" on "The economic gains from frontier AI should be shared with every person on Earth" aligns — Fain insists AI's gains must benefit workers broadly rather than enrich corporate power brokers.
