"Workers everywhere are smart enough and strong enough to negotiate and win, against their bosses and against the people broiling our planet. Let’s get to it!”– Jane McAlevey, “Rules To Win By” (2023)
"Read her work not just for the lessons, but also for the matter-of-fact, stubborn, compassionate voice with which Jane writes and teaches. A voice determined to prove to the workers of the world: we all deserve more, we all deserve dignity, and we already have what we need right here with each other– we just have to organize and be smart about it."

Rest in peace, Jane. Solidarity forever.

“It’s not a CEO that’s gonna save us. It’s not a president that’s gonna save us. It’s not you, it’s not me— it’s us and it’s a united working class is how we’re going to win!” - UAW President Shawn Fain

#StandUpUAW
This week, hundreds of members charted our union's political path forward at our UAW National CAP Conference. After three days of discussion and debate in Washington D.C., we've come away as a stronger organization, better prepared to Stand Up For Our Future — in our communities, at our worksites, and in the legislative halls.
