“We proposed an expiration date [that] allows us to strike on May Day. We invite unions to align their contract expiration dates with our own […] If we’re going to truly take on the billionaire class […] it’s important that we not only strike but strike together” @ShawnFainUAW

“[Democrats] convinced voters that they were going to be the party of change. We can’t convince people of that and then bring back the same leadership.”
Thanks to Brian Bryant & the 600,000 Machinists calling for new Senate leadership.
Voters demanded change. We must LISTEN.

NYC Mayor Mamdani met with UAW president Shawn Fain today, the latest in his meetings with union officials to talk about 2028.
Mamdani spokesperson Joe Calvello says they "discussed their shared commitment to strengthening the labor movement and carrying the momentum of last Tuesday’s election victories into 2027 and beyond."
They also chatted about UAW's 2023 "historic" strike, he said, and "the continued fight for retirement security for all workers."
Last month, Mamdani summoned the president of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades, Jimmy Williams Jr., to Gracie Mansion to talk about 2028.
Mamdani asked Williams which potential presidential candidates he liked and how his union's endorsement process would unfold.
He also asked Williams whether he'd ever considered running for office, the sources said.
The source who has spoken with Mamdani noted that the mayor recruited — and helped elect — several left-wing congressional candidates in New York this year.
Mamdani also met recently with flight attendants union president Sara Nelson, and he's planning to meet soon with UAW president Shawn Fain. axios.com/2026/11/08/scoop-m…

We cannot build power for the working class here at home while workers are slaughtered overseas.
This is a moment where we must hold our allies’ feet to the fire. Together we're going to pass the PRO Act and end foreign wars so we can focus on winning the class war here at home
Our union is proud to have been one of the first unions to call for a ceasefire in Gaza, and our General President @Jimmy_iupat, along with our members, will continue calling on the federal government to stop funding the genocide. That’s a promise.

The UAW will only stand with Congressional leadership that commits to immediately begin addressing the retirement and healthcare crisis. Let's get to work.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani officially signed the Community Opportunity to Purchase Act (COPA) into law today.
The bill gives tenants, land trusts, and other vetted community organizations the first right to buy eligible buildings — and thus to decommodify their housing.

Resharing these AOC book recommendations, no reason, at all, whatsoever: “I was just gifted a book that I’m about to crack open called Boss Lincoln. It’s about the lost years when Lincoln was building a political machine before he ran for the presidency.“
AOC is the only candidate who can lead the working class movement to fight the oligarchy and transform America. We’re organizing across the country to build the grassroots support we need to win in 2028. Go to ReadyforAOC.org to sign the pledge.

Chattanooga nurses at CommonSpirit are unionizing with @NationalNurses . After the corporate takeover of their hospital, nurses have seen short staffing, cuts, and equipment issues stand between them and delivering care for their patients.

Every candidate endorsed by UE150 won their election. Working-class voters showed up to elect champions who answer directly to public service workers rather than corporate interests.
Now it is time to enact a working people's agenda!

THIS is now the craziest story I've ever written for Labor Notes. UFCW Local 8 staff reps are stalking a dissident candidate for office, chasing him across California, in the union's first ever competitive local elections. I wonder what they have to lose? labornotes.org/2026/11/refor…

CHICAGO PARKING TEAMSTERS LAUNCH ULP STRIKE
Nearly 1,200 members of Teamsters Local 727 have launched an unfair labor practice (ULP) strike against parking operators throughout the Chicagoland area, citing widespread labor law violations and bad-faith bargaining. The strikes come after members overwhelmingly voted down the companies’ disrespectful “last, best, and final” offer.
The employers bargain collectively through the Chicago Parking Association under the Master Parking Agreement. Local 727 has filed or is preparing ULP charges alleging refusal to bargain, failure to provide information, unilateral changes to working conditions, retaliation, and unlawful surveillance.
