Our union is proud to have members like Claire Valdez running for office to fight for social and economic justice for working people.

I encourage our members in @uawregion9a to canvass for her and for the labor movement to support a labor champion for New York State!

If autoworkers in Alabama win their union next week, it'll be a huge victory for the working class and a major blow to the entire corporate power structure in that state.

'Workers at a Mercedes-Benz facility in Vance, Alabama will vote on whether to join the UAW starting May 13, and the outcome could help determine whether the union’s success in Tennessee will have a domino effect on other workplaces in the region.'

'(Reuther) seemed to have unlimited energy and when negotiating for the UAW he liked to jab and heckle his opponents to unnerve them.'

'Will the nonprofit workers providing critical legal support for New Yorkers who face the threat of eviction earn enough to afford their own housing? That question is at the center of a strike now in its third month.'

Physics #postdocs are going to the polls

NEW: Alabama autoworkers are on the verge of a major union victory.

But there's one group that's funding a massive campaign to stop them.

We uncovered who's behind the union busting at Mercedes and why they're dead set on stopping Mercedes-Benz workers from winning a union.

Mercedes auto worker Jeremy Kimbrell has said that a meaningful fight for workers should be adversarial with mgmt: “We’ll tell them, ‘What you’re doing is wrong. We don’t want that, we want this. And we’re the workers, so yeah, we’re not your friends.’” labornotes.org/2024/04/southe…

UAW Local 1320 members have been on strike at Harlo Products in Grandville, MI, for eight weeks, fighting for a fair and just contract.

Members and supporters held a rally yesterday to demand the company start negotiating in good faith and stop its union-busting tactics.

'Workers at Mercedes aren’t just fighting the boss or contending with the unfriendly political landscape — they’re up against both, and one can’t change without the other.' Read In These Times: inthesetimes.com/article/merced…

Peoples Mic at Robert Harwood’s office!

Robert Harwood of Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP and Mobilization for Justice’s board can help this strike now!

Here’s a video from the front of his office in Midtown Manhattan this morning!

This is why the fight of Local 259 of UAW unionizing EmPower Solar on Long Island is so righteous

These jobs of the future must be good paying, union jobs, and the fighting 259 is making sure to make that happen

Tomorrow, we celebrate the life and legacy of Walter Reuther.

'He's no doubt iconic. He provided progressive leadership that showed the union not only as a bargaining organization, but a leader of social change too.'
