"AI and jurisdiction are interlinked. Keeping union work in the union is a key priority that we’re working on. . . Keeping people’s jobs, and having a voice in our workplace about issues that affect our work, matters to us." @NYTimesGuild

Thank you to our endorsed candidate for U.S. Senate, @AbdulElSayed, for visiting UAW Local 2093 members on strike at American Axle. Workers shared their demand — $30 by ‘30 — and are holding the line until they win a fair contract!
Solidarity with our nearly 1,000 @UAW union siblings at the Three Rivers American Axle plant as they go on STRIKE for a fair contract with the wages, affordable health care and the dignity and respect they deserve ✊

ON STRIKE!
Strike day 2 at American Axle in Three Rivers, MI.
UAW Local 2093 members are striking for a fair contract that includes fair wages, affordable healthcare, sick leave, and time with family.

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders will introduce a bill to have the public take a 50% ownership stake in the country's biggest AI companies.

June is LGBTQIA2S+ Pride Month! We honor those who fought for equality and stand for dignity and fairness in the workplace. Union contracts are the strongest shield against discrimination. Let’s build a world where everyone thrives—solidarity makes change possible! #LGBTQIA #Equality #Pride
American Axle CEO David Dauch has been paid $111 million in the last decade, the UAW says. Meanwhile workers are sleeping in their cars or living in motels, and biking to work because they can’t afford the very vehicles they supply parts for. 1/2
