UAW Local 1979 P&A

"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!

UAW Region 1 stands with UAW Local 2093 American Axle.

Let it be known that American Axle workers are not alone in this fight. We have American Axle members right here in Region 1, and we are paying close attention to how this company treats our brothers and sisters in Three Rivers.

What happens there matters to workers everywhere.

We expect this company to do right by these workers and deliver a fair agreement that respects the people who make this company successful every single day.

To our brothers and sisters on the picket line: Region 1 has your back. If you need us, we will stand with you. We will speak up with you. And we will fight alongside you until justice is done.

Stay strong. Stay united. Stay UAW.

One Region. One Fight. One UAW. ✊🏾

The UAW is proud to endorse Abdul El-Sayed for U.S. Senate.

UAW members in Michigan want a fighter in Washington, D.C. who isn’t afraid to push forward a strong working-class agenda with moral clarity. Having never taken a dime from corporate PACs, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is someone we can trust to have our backs, including when we need it most – like come May Day 2028. From Medicare for All to banning stock buybacks, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is ready, eager, and well-equipped to move our core issues in the U.S. Senate.

"Our process for selecting regents, trustees and governors does not work," Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said in an interview.

By revoking our collective choice for who runs our shared institution, who decides our budgets, and who ultimately decides our livelihoods, we lose even more say in Wayne State’s future. With this bill, our leaders will no longer have to answer to us, will no longer have to consider our jobs, and will no longer share our vision of Wayne State.

🚨 THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN. LANSING MUST LISTEN. 🚨

The People's Coalition supports giving voters a direct voice in choosing candidates for Attorney General and Secretary of State through primary elections.

But we strongly oppose efforts to eliminate elected university governing boards and replace them with political appointments.

Michigan's universities belong to the people—not politicians. Elected boards ensure accountability, transparency, and independence. Appointed boards concentrate power and open the door to political interference in our public colleges and universities.

We're especially concerned that this proposal comes just weeks after grassroots delegates and activists won key university board nominations at the Michigan Democratic Party Convention. To many, this looks like an attempt by special interests and disgruntled insiders to change the rules after they didn't like the outcome.

That's not democracy.

If politicians can eliminate elected positions because they don't like who won, every voter should be concerned.

📞 Call your State Representative and State Senator TODAY. VOTING WILL TAKE PLACE IN LESS THAN 48 HRS!

Tell them:
✅ Support voter participation.
❌ Oppose replacing elected university boards with political appointments.

On this day in 1970, Walter Reuther, his wife May, and four others were tragically killed in a plane crash in Pellston, Michigan. Today, we remember Brother Reuther as a visionary and principled leader whose fierce commitment to the labor movement helped build a better life for countless working-class people.
