Impacted workers and community members from South Carolina, Tennessee, and Alabama will share testimony on working conditions, successful organizing and community benefits agreement campaigns, and the need to develop industry-wide standards for the booming electric manufacturing industry in their communities.

As private companies receive massive amounts of public funds to expand the electric vehicle (EV) industry and a complex supply chain – including electric batteries, electric battery cells, and electric municipal fleets of buses and trucks – they are flocking to the American South. Time and time again, history reveals that when corporations look to exploit the South, generations of Black, brown, and rural workers are most impacted.

That’s why Jobs With Justice is joining South Carolina Jobs With Justice Solidarity Hub and Jobs With Justice of East Tennessee in support of workers demanding industry-wide standards like union neutrality, opportunities for good faith negotiations in community benefit agreements, and worker-first health and safety regulations!

We hope to see you there. Learn more about this event and RSVP here.

In Solidarity,

Michaela Winter
