Out of love for the working class, I am in @JournalSpectre sharing my experience assembling EV Hummers at General Motors, taking measure of the auto industry and the UAW, and discussing ways out of the crisis
The crisis facing autoworkers is unfolding on many fronts, from the chaotic corporate-led electric vehicle (EV) transition to the ongoing restructuring toward nonunion manufacturing and more. The UAW has only just started to play defense. spectrejournal.com/the-uaw-d…

Workers are walking out at non-union Toyota plants in Alabama in response to forced overtime and rotating shifts. Can the fight to take back our time be a lightning rod for union campaigns?

UAW members: join us for our next free training in our Class Struggle on the Shop-Floor series! To beat the boss and the ruling class, we need to stand together. That starts with conversations that establish trust with our coworkers & and bring them into the struggle.

Bummer when the union bureaucrats running the finances have no idea what's going on Amazing to be part of @uaw4democracy, our class-struggle movement that knows we can still fight for justice on the shop floor & around the world Which vision for the @UAW do you want to build?

After UAWD members forced the amendment onto the Constitutional Convention agenda, UAW delegates voted to divest the union's reported $400,000 in Israel bonds, marking a victory for decades of rank-and-file organizing!

It’s time for the labor movement to stop glorifying the grievance procedure, start understanding its role in pacifying the rank and file, and take grievances out of the office and onto the shop floor. New article by Nevena Pilipović-Wengler, UAW Local 22: dailystruggle.org/transformi…
