UAW // What is the Stand Up Strike?

UAW 

(United Auto Workers)

(The International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural 

Implement Workers of America)

The Stand Up Strike is our generation’s answer to the movement that built our union, the Sit-Down Strikes of 1937. Then as now, we face massive inequality across our society. Then as now, our industry is rapidly changing and workers are being left behind. Then as now, our labor movement is redefining itself. This is a strike that grows over time, giving our national negotiators maximum leverage and maximum flexibility to win a record contract.

2023 UAW Solidarity Magazine - Summer

UAW // Special Big 3 Issue of Solidarity Today !!!

 

READ Special Big 3 Issue of Solidarity Today | WATCH Facebook Live with President Fain Wed. @ 5 PM

We are three days away from the expiration of our contracts with the Big Three. What we win in these negotiations matters not just to Big Three members, or just to UAW members, but to every worker in America.   Our brand-new issue of Solidarity magazine – download the PDF here – shows what’s at stake by telling the stories of six Big Three members and retirees. To get the very latest news about Big Three bargaining, tune into President Shawn Fain’s Facebook Live this Wed., Sept. 13 at 5 PM EST.   For generations, the UAW set the standard that built America’s middle class. As our wages and benefits regressed at the Big Three, the standard of living fell for workers all across America.   This special issue of Solidarity shows how we’re fighting back and winning. 75% of Americans say they support UAW members in our talks with the Big Three. Only 19% side with the companies. The magazine is filled with pictures of members taking action for a strong contract in numbers that we haven’t seen in decades.   The new issue of Solidarity also has powerful stories from across our sectors. It shows IPS workers, higher-ed workers, aerospace workers and more “Holding the Line” for all of us.   The magazine also includes Secretary-Treasurer Margaret Mock’s annual Financial Report, showing that our union’s finances — and our strike fund — are in strong shape as we head into this historic fight for economic justice.   Take inspiration from the magazine, and get ready to take action!   In Solidarity, The UAW Communications Team

¡¡¡ Happy 60th Birthday McLaren !!!

 

Two McLaren Arturas took to the track in a choreographed display of precision driving to mark the 60th anniversary of Bruce McLaren founding the company in September 1963.

About the McLaren Artura:

The McLaren Artura features a powertrain comprising a twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine with an E-motor and energy-dense battery pack. These combine to produce combined outputs of 680PS (671bhp) and 720Nm (530lb ft). At its lightest dry weight of 1,395kg, the Artura boasts a class-leading power-to-weight ratio of 488PS per-tonne – a key attribute in achieving 0-100km/h (0-62mph) in 3.0 seconds and 0-200km/h (0-124mph) in just 8.3 seconds.

When the tyre smoke drifted away, the message became clear – as captured in the video ‘Celebrating 60 years of McLaren’:
