UAW Launches Unprecedented Campaign to Unionize Entire US Auto Sector

The union targets 13 companies with simultaneous campaigns, aiming to double the number of unionized auto workers in the US.

  • The United Auto Workers (UAW) has launched a campaign to unionize the entire US auto sector, targeting 13 companies with simultaneous unionization campaigns.
  • UAW President Shawn Fain has stated that the union aims to negotiate not just with the 'Big Three' American automakers, but with a 'Big Five or a Big Six', implying plans to expand to other automakers.
  • President Biden has expressed support for the UAW's push to unionize Tesla and Toyota.
  • The UAW's campaign includes a new website where workers at each company can express their interest in unionizing.
  • The goal of the campaign is to unionize approximately 150,000 auto production workers across non-union automakers, which would roughly double the number of unionized auto workers in the US.
