📢 The politicians in power need to hear your story. Share how plant closures and U.S. free trade policies (NAFTA, USMCA) have affected you and your community, and why we need a new agreement.

For nine decades, the UAW has been at the forefront of the labor movement, winning historic gains for working people and standing at the center of major struggles for civil rights, social justice, and economic fairness.
As we celebrate our 90th anniversary this week, we highlight the UAW’s proud history of bold action—from the Flint Sit-Down Strike of 1936 to the Stand Up Strike of 2023 and beyond.

Both the faculty and student-worker unions at the University of Oregon have now authorized strikes.
That means 1,700 academics and 4,000 student-workers could all be on strike within a month.

Our picket line kicked off today! We will remain on indefinite ULP strike against Root & Rebound until management stops fighting AGAINST its workers and starts fighting WITH its workers on behalf of our clients and community!
