"What’s clear is that USC do want to bust this faculty union at any cost — and they saw this legally opportunistic avenue for them to pursue.” capitalandmain.com/usc-faculty-...

Honored to have the support of UAW president, champion for workers, Shawn Fain.

"We generate millions in profits for our CEO and billions in Wall Street payouts. But we have workers at Woodward who can’t afford to live. They haven’t had a raise in years." — UAW Local 5101 President Jose Tapia 📰 https://ow.ly/HpEO50Zjloi

"There is no way back to the American Dream without undoing the damage of NAFTA and its successor, the USMCA. There is no future for the U.S. working class that doesn’t address the free trade disaster." — UAW President Shawn Fain. To read the union's bold new vision on trade, visit UAW.org/trade

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a triumph of organizing and fighting for a more just country. The civil rights and labor movements are deeply connected, and 62 years later, America’s unions are committed to continuing the fight to secure and expand civil rights for all.

“'We are deeply committed to our work for the museum, but we need management to understand that what they are offering is unsustainable,' said Anton Sherin, an archivist at the Guggenheim." @uawregion9a.bsky.social 📰 https://ow.ly/cty050ZjlhP

Over four and a half months on the picket line, and our UAW Local 2192 family is still united and standing strong at Lorain County Jobs and Family Services in Elyria, Ohio ✊

“The cuts to (Guggenheim) staff created hardships for those of us remaining because we were forced to pick up a lot of extra work,” Union chair Drew Reynolds said. "Workers took the brunt of the cuts while museum leadership did not give up a penny in their salaries.” https://ow.ly/P49G50ZjlzS

UAW Local 5101 members at Woodward MPC in Niles, IL, are ready to win their fair share of the company's massive profits! On Tuesday, workers held a practice picket to show the company they're ready to strike if necessary to win the contract they deserve.

"Nearly one third of all corporate political spending on elections since the 2010 Citizens United decision has occurred in the current election cycle – months before the general election, a new report from Public Citizen finds." 📰 https://ow.ly/CccV50ZiK6I

UAW Local 5101 members who work at Woodward MPC outside of Chicago held a practice picket on Tuesday after months of company stall tactics and unfair labor practices during contract negotiations. Last week, workers at the facility voted by 71% to authorize a strike, if necessary.

Corporations spent $517 MILLION in the 2026 election cycle alone. That's nearly 1/3 of ALL corporate political spending since the 2010 Citizens United Decision. Corporate domination of our elections has long been a problem, and now it’s getting MUCH worse.

The biggest threat to the American Dream is the billionaire dictatorship over our economic and political system. If we want to win a better life for the working class, we have to challenge corporate greed at every level. https://ow.ly/M1xW50ZiG2R

Earning the support of the @uaw.org is a full circle moment. My dad, raised in Egypt, dreamt of building cars. He immigrated to Detroit, Michigan — the single best place in the world to make cars. I'm so honored and grateful to have the support of the mighty UAW.

"The most important thing to me is that every single worker in this country can unionize their workplace and that we make the labor movement strong and vibrant and militant." — Claire Valdez 📰 https://thechiefleader.com/stories/claire-valdez-has-high-hopes-for-labor,56940

Claire Valdez, winner of the Democratic primary for New York's 7th Congressional District, says she would push for its passage in Congress.

👀 Retired UAW Members: look for this envelope in your mailbox! The UAW will be holding the 2026 UAW International Officer Election this fall, and we have mailed a survey to a subset of potentially retired members to help determine their membership status.

Extremely proud to be part of the @uaw.org, the best union in New York City, which has been listening to members when engaging with elections, taking big swings, and winning big the past few years. Now we’re sending two of our members to Congress.

Congratulations to our own UAW member and leader, @claireforny.bsky.social, on winning her campaign for Congress! When we run working-class champions, we win.

Join Senator Bernie Sanders and UAW President Shawn Fain tonight to hear about the fight to take on the billionaire class in Michigan and make sure @abdulelsayed.bsky.social wins the Michigan Senate Primary on August 4. 💻 ow.ly/jClI50ZgkI2

"As workers at the University of Pennsylvania pursued a first contract, Trump’s second presidency rendered the administration cowed, the labor board unreliable, and international workers afraid. The antidote: high-participation, worker-led organizing." 📰 https://ow.ly/536G50ZbQXy
