United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain is pressing ahead with plans to organize non-union car companies after winning historic concessions from the Big Three automakers.
Do you agree with the decision to send weapons, soldier and ships to the Middle East as a deterrent in the Israel-Hamas war?
At an automotive conference, Mr. Fain said his union will be doing whatever it can to expand organized labor in the U.S. auto industry. Mr. Fain said that his attitude and the contract his union won have already enticed a significant number of non-union autoworkers. He claimed that he has already heard from workers at several non-union plants who wish to join with UAW.
UAW, the biggest automotive union in the country, has tried for decades to organize international and domestic non-union automakers. However, anti-union sentiment and strong Right to Work laws have kept UAW from winning any significant victories at companies like Toyota or Mercedes.
