"If it's a week, if it's a month, if it's six months — I'm here."
American Axle workers know their time is now, and they're ready to strike for as long as it takes to win the contract they deserve.
In this economy, the rich and powerful are getting even richer, while working people scrape for crumbs as prices skyrocket on everything.
A union contract is how we take back our power in this economy. Join the movement:

@UAW Local 2093 members have negotiated in good faith for months. Now, they are standing together and demanding what they have earned.
I was proud to stand with UAW members when they kicked off negotiations for a record contract back in March, and I am proud to #StandTALL with them today as they fight for the fair wages, strong benefits, safe workplaces, and respect every worker deserves.
My full statement:
Get ready with us as we pack for the AFL-CIO’s 30th constitutional convention!
This is union democracy in action. The labor movement is coming together, building solidarity and strategizing for the fights ahead as we work to create a strong and secure future for every worker.
UAW Local 2093 members at American Axle’s Three Rivers plant are ON STRIKE after the company refused a fair deal. While execs took home millions, workers are fighting for basic dignity. No Contract? No Axles!

This morning I walked with the striking workers of @UAW Local 2093 in Three Rivers. They are seeking a fair contract and compensation for the years they’ve invested at American Axle. While billions of company profits are reported, some workers are sleeping in their cars.
Proudly joined striking @uaw workers on the lines at American Axle this morning.
In 2008, workers took massive pay cuts—many from $29 to $14.50 an hour—to save the company.
Now, billions in profit later, it’s past time for American Axle to pay its workers a fair wage.
No Contract? No Axles!
Join UAW Local 2093 and President Shawn Fain on Sunday at 10 pm ET — just two hours before the strike deadline — as they announce next steps and whether American Axle has proposed a fair deal or not.
Live on UAW Facebook, X, and YouTube.
We’re 9 days away from the AFL-CIO’s 30th Constitutional Convention in Minneapolis, Minnesota!
