Our UAW family was proud to stand in solidarity with Michigan unions, elected leaders, and labor allies at Solidarity House in Detroit yesterday in a show of unity and force against the divide-and-conquer politics being peddled in Michigan.
The UAW – Black, Brown, White, Jewish, Christian, Muslim – is on the side of justice and working-class unity, and we are united behind our next Senator, @AbdulElSayed.

Unionized researchers in @uawregion6 have already proven this model by successfully putting a measure for the CA state govt to fund $7.5 billion in scientific research on the 2028 ballot.
A good start but we must build on this by continuing to organize

Randy Villegas is running to represent CA-22 to be a voice for working people in the halls of Congress. His experience as a rank-and-file UAW member makes him uniquely qualified to do just that — and UAW members are out in force to send him to Washington.
"What excites me most about @Villegas_CA22 running for Congress is the fact that we're seeing what the union difference makes," said one @uawregion6 member. "He started in the UC institution. He was a member of our union. And now he's making sure to continue that legacy of uniting our communities."

ICYMI: "When GM is spending $20 billion buying back their own stock but only half that investing in factories, equipment, and productive capacity, they are choosing Wall Street profits over blue collar America." — @ShawnFainUAW

Union members recognize the bosses’ divide & conquer strategy” on our ballots, write Mara Rafferty & Jarel Sanders, calling out millionaire-fueled fearmongering about trans youth used to divide & distract working families from the ultimate goal: cutting taxes on the rich.
We're just getting started! UAW members in California, Alaska, Nevada, Washington, Oregon, & Arizona, sign up here to keep building the movement to make politics work for working people: act.uaw.org/uaw-r6-gotv
UAW members have hit a Midterm Milestone: 125,000 doors across the country! With 2 weeks until Election Day, UAW members will continue knocking doors in states like Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maine, Iowa, California, and more.
By reaching out to union voters and their families in places where elections are decided by thin margins, UAW members can cut through the noise to talk to voters about the issues that matter most this midterm.

Shawn Fain is right. It is an outrage that GM is spending $20 billion on stock buybacks to enrich its wealthy shareholders, while 80% of its autoworkers no longer have a pension or retiree health benefits.
That $20 billion should be going to workers, not Wall Street executives.

Yesterday, hundreds of UAW 4811 members came together with @lateefahsimon to discuss the importance of federal research funding and what’s at stake for the workers who power scientific research here in California and across the country.

Last year, a majority of tutors at the University of California signed up as dues-paying members of UAW 4811.
Last semester, thousands of us picketed across the state for a strong contract.
Yesterday, I got an $8/hour raise.
That's the power of a union. #uaw #1u

This is reckless, dangerous, and unhinged. Four million Angelenos are not bargaining chips.
