KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The United Auto Workers union initiated campaigns to organize at 13 major auto manufacturers in the U.S., including Tesla.
- It is targeting almost 150,000 non-union autoworkers, urging them to sign electronic cards to organize workers.
- The move is part of the UAW's efforts to increase membership and could strengthen the union's bargaining power.
After negotiating contracts with the Detroit Big Three automakers, the United Auto Workers (UAW) union has launched an initiative to organize non-union workers of 13 automakers in the U.S.
Targeting almost 150,000 non-union autoworkers across Tesla (TSLA), Toyota (TM), Honda (HMC), Hyundai, Nissan, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Subaru, Volkswagen, Mazda, Rivian (RIVN), Lucid (LCID), and Volvo among other✱s, the UAW is urging workers to sign electronic cards to organize.
Not every participating automaker or plant is guaranteed to be unionized since it will depend on workers, who would cast their votes i🌺n a 𓆉union representation election.
澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:The contracts the UAW recently ratifie🉐d with Big Three automakers after its historic strike included substantial increases in wages, and in a video on the UAW's website, UAW President Shawn Fain urged workers to join because "the money is there, the time is 👍right, and the answer is simple."
Fain suggested the UAW's move to increase its membership could strengthen the union's bargaining power, and that by the time new contracts require renewal in 2028, the UAW could be bargaining with the “Big Five or Big Six” rather than the Big Three.
In the wake of the UAW's agreements with the Big Three automakers, several non-union auto companies, including Hyundai, Toyota, and Honda, announced plans to raise worker compensation as well.
