"30 by 30."
That's $30 by 2030. That's what UAW Local 2093 members demanded. And that's what they're going to get.
UAW Local 2093 members have always known their own power at American Axle. They recognized that it was their sacrifices 18 years ago that kept this plant alive in Three Rivers, MI, after the Great Recession. And they flexed that power on STRIKE -- to win their fair share of all the success this company's seen in recent years.
Congratulations to these brave men and women for lifting up their entire community with this victory!

When we fought, we won.
Nearly 1,000 non-tenured faculty at NYU walked off the job for two days this spring.
Peter Cole reports that they returned with a strong first contract: minimum $14,000 raises, annual increases and long-term employment guarantees.

During a solemn ceremony at the UAW's Constitutional Convention in March of 1964, the union remembered the life and legacy of the late president John F. Kennedy by posthumously honoring him with the UAW's Social Justice Award.
Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy accepted the award on his brother's behalf. "There was no organization with which the president felt a closer association than the UAW," RFK told delegates.
Wrote the UAW in a memorial resolution honoring JFK: "We in the UAW were blessed by his warm friendship. We were proud partners in the democratic political process. He gave new dimensions to human dignity through his fearless fight for human rights, his compassionate concern for the aged, his devotion and dedication to youth and by his courageous contribution in extending the frontiers of social justice."

"Donovan McKinney grew up in a UAW family, and he’s spent his career fighting for working families, not corporate donors. His economic platform is simple: if you work for a living, you should be able to afford a living. In Congress, he’ll stand on our picket lines, defend our pensions, and fight for trade policy that prioritizes Michigan's workers' needs."
— UAW Region 1 Director LaShawn English
"Donovan McKinney understands that when health care isn’t tied to your job, workers bargain with far more power. He's committed to fighting for Medicare for All in Congress because he knows that no worker should ever have to choose between a paycheck and their family’s health. He won't back down on that fight, along with many other critical fights for us in Washington.” — UAW Region 1A Director Mark DePaoli"Donovan McKinney understands that when health care isn’t tied to your job, workers bargain with far more power.

Loving Day is a celebration of courage and love. Mildred and Richard Loving’s fight for their right to be married changed history. On June 12, 1967, their victory in the Supreme Court struck down laws banning interracial marriage, paving the way for greater equality. #LovingDay

The 39th UAW Constitutional Convention kicks off on Monday! We're taking a look back at some of the most iconic and memorable moments from past conventions.
At the UAW's 16th Constitutional Convention in 1957, delegates voted to establish the Public Review Board, a unique and innovative form of self-governance.
Article 32, Section 1, of the UAW Constitution defines the purpose of the PRB. It states that the PRB was formed “…for the purpose of insuring a continuation of the high moral and ethical standards in the administrative and operative practices of the International Union and its subordinate bodies, and to further strengthen the democratic processes and appeal procedures within the Union as they affect the rights and privileges of individual members and subordinate bodies.”
Comprised of distinguished citizens and completely independent of the UAW, the PRB was commissioned to issue final and binding decisions on cases appealed to it by UAW members with grievances against the union.
Find out more about the PRB: prbuaw.org/about-the-prb/
