🎙️ As part of our coverage of the UAW's organizing drive, I sat down with Shawn Fain to find out what's changed & why he's confident the union will win.

Yesterday, members of AGWA/UAW marched on campus to demand a fair contract from the University of Alaska.
-Livable Wage
-Healthcare Access
-Voice on the Job

Is that too much to ask for? NO! When the time comes, they are ready to SHUT IT DOWN! ✊ #1u #UAWStandUp

The union vote at VW kicks off tomorrow morning. The workers are gonna win big!

Six GOP governors are trying to stoke fears that organizing with the UAW will shut down plants.

But Volkswagen is union everywhere else on Earth.

As one worker, Robert, told us: 'They're not gonna pull it out just because 4,000 employees out of 600,000 want to be organized.'

'I continue to be inspired with each passing day when I see my coworkers standing up for each other and standing by the value of our work.'

A four-day workweek is coming closer.

There’s a bill in the Senate, the UAW is pushing for it, and billionaire Steve Cohen even says its on the way.

And it’s more than reasonable. Workers produce more and more — now it’s time for us to see the benefits.

No bucks, no trucks! #StandUpDaimler #StandUpUAW

Daimler workers are getting strike ready. Here is why:
* Daimler made $6 billion in 2023  
* Daimler Profits ⬆️ 39% over 2022  
* Over half those profits were made in North America  
* Daimler plans to spend $2.1 billion on stock buybacks & intends to increase dividends by 46%

As the Labor Caucus, we speak up when we see threats to workers' rights.

Workers must be allowed to choose whether to form a union on their own - free from influence from their employers or politicians. Shame on these governors for putting out this anti-union propaganda.

'(The UAW) are tackling the heart of the very idea that the South can be a place that companies can use to escape union power. Unionize the South’s auto factories, and that proposition is dead.' — Hamilton Nolan

We were pleased to join colleagues in @uaw7902, NYU GSOC|UAW, NYU Researchers United-UAW, and UCATS LOCAL 3882 in solidarity with NYU resident assistants—undergrad workers—as SWAN told our shared bosses that a supermajority of them have formed a union and they want a fair process for recognition.

Tick tock, mothertrucker! The clock is ticking as the Daimler contract expiration on April 26 gets closer. Tick tock, Daimler!
Record profits = record contracts.
