John, 97% of UAW members have voted YES to authorize a strike if the Big Three don’t deliver fair contracts by September 14. These monumental negotiations will affect 150,000 direct assembly auto workers at Ford, Stellantis, and General Motors. If the Big Three force a strike, countless other auto industry workers will be impacted too.

Sign our petition to send a clear message to the Big Three CEOs that UAW members have the support of people like you. Because when workers win, we all win!

Just like the Teamsters’ industry-setting contract at UPS will impact workers at Amazon and FedEx, the UAW has an opportunity to set industry-wide standards, including at new electric vehicle manufacturing plants in states where bad labor laws keep wages and safety standards low. 

Key Demands:

• End Two-Tier Wage Systems & Restore COLA: Equal pay for equal work. A fair contract for UAW members means the total elimination of tiers at the Big Three. CEOs raking in million-dollar salaries while workers are denied benefits and thriving wages won’t be tolerated anymore. 

• Job Security & Just Transition to EVs: Workers who are helping to build a cleaner energy future for us all deserve thriving wages, safety, and decision-making power in their workplace.

• Retirement Security: All workers deserve the retirement security UAW members previously had for generations. Re-establish retiree medical benefits, increase retiree pay, and define benefit pensions for all workers. 

• More time off: UAW members work 60, 70, even 80 hours a week just to make ends meet. Instead of threatening job security and replacing workers, advancements like automation should make workers' lives easier. More time with family, fewer hours with thriving wages, and opportunities for career advancement should be the reality for all UAW members.
