Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton supports the striking auto workers in Dublin.

Clinton released a statement Monday about the strike:

"I fully support the working men and women of United Auto Workers Local 2069 at the Volvo Plant in Dublin in their ongoing efforts to organize and bargain collectively for a safe workplace, skills training, fair wages, and meaningful health and pension benefits.

I am proud to stand with the organized labor movement as it continues to fight for the rights of all working families and for the growth of a strong and prosperous middle class in this country. The right to organize and bargain collectively to ensure a voice at work is a fundamental right and one worth defending for all workers in this country. I hope for a quick return to the bargaining table where negotiations can resume in good faith and an agreement that benefits all sides can be reached as soon as possible."

Workers went on strike midnight Thursday. They say they are not striking about money, but about basic safety and health protections.

It looked more like an irritated throat.

Even if it was crying, I don't blame her.
