Leading candidates will address members of the UAW – the largest labor union in Michigan – as workers question each candidate on top issues for Michiganders
https://uaw.org/wp

UAW Local 2093 members at American Axle (also known as Dauch Corporation) in Three Rivers, Michigan, filed Unfair Labor Practice (ULP) federal charges against the company for illegally threatening and intimidating union members organizing for a fair contract ahead of the expiration on May 31. Nearly 1,000 workers voted 98% in favor of authorizing a strike earlier this month.
“Calling the police on your own dedicated workforce for holding union flyers isn’t just a violation of federal labor law – it’s a desperate attempt to bully workers into submission,” said UAW Region 1D Director Steve Dawes. “But that’s not going to work with UAW Local 2093 members. These workers are going to stay strong for a record contract.”
The federal labor charges follow an April 13 incident at the plant entrance, where management called local police to remove and escort off-duty employees who were distributing UAW literature, buttons and stickers. Management further threatened workers with termination and trespassing charges – actions that are in direct violation of Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), which explicitly protects a worker’s right to organize.
“We are well-aware of our federally protected right to organize, speak out, and stand together, and we are going to exercise those rights all the way through,” said UAW Local 2093 Chairperson at American Axle, Josh Jagger. “We will not be intimidated by corporate bullies when we are the ones who spent years building this company back up.”
In 2008, workers at American Axle took major sacrifices to save the facility from closure during the Great Recession. Many long-time workers who were making as much as $29 an hour in 2008 saw their wages slashed to $14.50. Today, eighteen years later, workers are still yet to make up all that lost ground, with wages at American Axle currently topping out at $22 an hour after a five-year progression, with inflation-adjusted wages cut in half from their pre-2008 levels.
Meanwhile, in the last decade, as a Tier 1 parts supplier to General Motors, American Axle has generated $8.4 billion in profits. Over that time, the company’s CEO has been paid $111 million, with the top five executives receiving nearly $231 million in compensation – while UAW members working at the Three Rivers plant struggle to afford basic needs, with some even forced to sleep in their cars.

Members of UAW Local 2317 who build drivetrains and custom gearing for Allison Off-Highway in Lafayette, Indiana will be holding a strike authorization vote and solidarity rally on Thursday, May 21st, ahead of their contract expiration on May 22nd. The workers are fighting for cost-of-living adjustments (COLA), affordable healthcare, and fair wages at the multibillion-dollar supplier.
In a new video, members of UAW Local 2317 speak out about their fight for a fair contract. In January, Allison Transmission purchased the facility from Dana Incorporated for $2.7 billion. Allison has made $7.7 billion in profits over the past decade and has spent more than half of that on stock buybacks and dividends.
“Our hardworking members have generated massive value for this company,” said UAW Region 2B Director David Green. “If there’s money for Wall Street, there sure as hell is money for the workers that make the product day in and day out. The International UAW has Local 2317’s back every step of the way.”
“Allison is making a lot of money. So why aren’t we?” say Allison Off-Highway workers in a new video. “We’re fighting for our slice of the pie. A decent wage, cost of living adjustments, healthcare we can afford, and real job security. Our contract expires on May 22nd, and we’re ready to fight for what’s right.”

As Washtenaw County Prosecutor, Savit has built a record of standing up for workers and consumers. He created Michigan’s only Economic Justice Unit dedicated to cracking down on wage theft, protecting consumers, and holding corporations accountable when they cheat or exploit workers. He also led lawsuits against opioid companies that brought nearly $50 million back to the community to help tackle the opioid crisis.
As Attorney General, Savit has pledged to establish a statewide Workers’ Rights Unit focused on protecting workers from wage theft, exploitation, unsafe working conditions, and corporate abuse.
“Eli Savit doesn’t back down from corporate power — he fights for justice for the working class,” said UAW President Shawn Fain. “While too many politicians talk about workers during election season and disappear afterward, Eli has actually gone after corporations that steal wages, rip off consumers, and poison communities. He’s proven he’ll use the law to hold powerful interests accountable.”
The endorsement highlights Savit’s longstanding commitment to economic justice and worker protection. In office, he has focused not only on prosecuting crime, but on holding corporations accountable when they exploit workers and consumers.

In a letter to US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, UAW President Shawn Fain, UAW Region 2B Director David Green, and UAW Local 2359 President Robert Hines call on the Administration to include brass musical instruments under the broader Section 232 tariffs on copper imports.
“Workers in Eastlake, Ohio have produced brass musical instruments for over 60 years. They have done their jobs, producing world-class products, winning a union contract with family-sustaining wages, and building the company into America’s largest in the sector. Now, it is time for the federal government to do its job, by protecting our jobs, signaling to blue-collar workers across the country that their jobs will be safe too, and penalizing companies for attempting to offshore our jobs and decimate our communities,” write the UAW leaders. “The Commerce Department has the power to immediately halt the offshoring of jobs at Conn-Selmer by making the company, and its billionaire owner, pay a price for leaving Eastlake behind. Brass musical instruments must be included as derivate products within the scope of the section 232 tariffs on copper imports.”
In January – on what was supposed to be day one of the latest contract negotiations between Conn-Selmer and UAW Local 2359 members – the last, USA-made brass instrument brand, informed workers that it is shutting down its Ohio facility and offshoring almost all its Eastlake operations overseas to China.
Decades of an Ohio mainstay and 150 good, union jobs suddenly became on the chopping block because billionaire hedge fund owner John Paulson decided to lead with corporate greed over preserving an American institution – and American manufacturing.

During the forum, UAW members will have the opportunity to hear directly from each candidate on their priorities to support workers, and each candidate will address questions directly from UAW members on the issues that matter most to working Michiganders: a living wage, healthcare, retirement, and time off.

The current contract expires on May 31st.
“The membership of UAW Local 2093 and Region 1D have sent a crystal clear message to American Axle: we need a fair contract now, or we’re ready to take the next step,” said UAW Region 1D Director Steve Dawes. “We’ve waited long enough for this company to do the right thing, and we’re ready to do what it takes to win a fair deal at American Axle.”
“American Axle is a mainstay in this community, and we’re fighting to make it better by making our lives better,” said Jay Korf, a UAW Local 2093 member at American Axle. “We’re not asking to break the bank; we’re demanding our fair share after all our sacrifices and years spent building this company back up.”
In 2008, workers at American Axle took major sacrifices to save the facility from closure during the Great Recession. Many long-time workers who were making as much as $29 an hour in 2008 saw their wages slashed to $14.50. Today, eighteen years later, workers are still yet to make up all that lost ground, with wages at American Axle currently topping out at $22 an hour after a five-year progression, with inflation-adjusted wages cut in half from their pre-2008 levels.
Meanwhile, in the last decade, as a Tier 1 parts supplier to General Motors, American Axle has generated $8.4 billion in profits. Over that time, the company’s CEO has been paid $111 million, with the top five executives receiving nearly $231 million in compensation – while UAW members working at the Three Rivers plant struggle to afford basic needs, with some even forced to sleep in their cars.

The new bargaining unit includes guest relations workers and educators.
MI-SCI workers approached the UAW about forming a union at their workplace due to ongoing bullying and harassment by management, scheduling issues, and lack of a voice at work. In addition, management constantly implemented new policies and programs without seeking feedback from the workers who interact with visitors every day and represent the public face of the Science Center.
“The victory at MI-SCI proves that when workers stand together, workers win,” said UAW Region 1 Director LaShawn English. “The employees at MI-SCI organized because they wanted their voices heard, their work respected, and a real seat at the table. Their courage and unity made this moment possible. Every worker deserves dignity, respect, and the opportunity to help shape their workplace. UAW Region 1 proudly stands with the workers at MI-SCI as they begin this new chapter. They believed in each other, stayed united, and they won.”

Union members across the region mobilized in the final weeks of the campaign, with volunteers gathering at UAW Local 699 to knock doors and speak directly with fellow union members about the importance of electing someone who understands working-class issues because they’ve lived them.

UAW Local 2093 members at American Axle (also known as Dauch Corporation) in Three Rivers, Michigan, filed Unfair Labor Practice (ULP) federal charges against the company for illegally threatening and intimidating union members organizing for a fair contract ahead of the expiration on May 31. Nearly 1,000 workers voted 98% in favor of authorizing a strike earlier this month.
“Calling the police on your own dedicated workforce for holding union flyers isn’t just a violation of federal labor law – it’s a desperate attempt to bully workers into submission,” said UAW Region 1D Director Steve Dawes. “But that’s not going to work with UAW Local 2093 members. These workers are going to stay strong for a record contract.”
The federal labor charges follow an April 13 incident at the plant entrance, where management called local police to remove and escort off-duty employees who were distributing UAW literature, buttons and stickers. Management further threatened workers with termination and trespassing charges – actions that are in direct violation of Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), which explicitly protects a worker’s right to organize.
“We are well-aware of our federally protected right to organize, speak out, and stand together, and we are going to exercise those rights all the way through,” said UAW Local 2093 Chairperson at American Axle, Josh Jagger. “We will not be intimidated by corporate bullies when we are the ones who spent years building this company back up.”
In 2008, workers at American Axle took major sacrifices to save the facility from closure during the Great Recession. Many long-time workers who were making as much as $29 an hour in 2008 saw their wages slashed to $14.50.

Members of UAW Local 2317 who build drivetrains and custom gearing for Allison Off-Highway in Lafayette, Indiana will be holding a strike authorization vote and solidarity rally on Thursday, May 21st, ahead of their contract expiration on May 22nd. The workers are fighting for cost-of-living adjustments (COLA), affordable healthcare, and fair wages at the multibillion-dollar supplier.
In a new video, members of UAW Local 2317 speak out about their fight for a fair contract. In January, Allison Transmission purchased the facility from Dana Incorporated for $2.7 billion. Allison has made $7.7 billion in profits over the past decade and has spent more than half of that on stock buybacks and dividends.
“Our hardworking members have generated massive value for this company,” said UAW Region 2B Director David Green. “If there’s money for Wall Street, there sure as hell is money for the workers that make the product day in and day out. The International UAW has Local 2317’s back every step of the way.”
“Allison is making a lot of money. So why aren’t we?” say Allison Off-Highway workers in a new video. “We’re fighting for our slice of the pie. A decent wage, cost of living adjustments, healthcare we can afford, and real job security. Our contract expires on May 22nd, and we’re ready to fight for what’s right.”

Justin Mayhugh2026-05-15 11:19:152026-05-15 11:19:15UAW Members at Allison Off-Highway in Lafayette, Indiana, to Hold Strike Authorization Vote Ahead of Contract DeadlineThe UAW has endorsed Eli Savit for Michigan Attorney General following a vote of the Michigan CAP General Board, backing Savit as a proven fighter who is unafraid to take on powerful corporate interests.
As Washtenaw County Prosecutor, Savit has built a record of standing up for workers and consumers. He created Michigan’s only Economic Justice Unit dedicated to cracking down on wage theft, protecting consumers, and holding corporations accountable when they cheat or exploit workers. He also led lawsuits against opioid companies that brought nearly $50 million back to the community to help tackle the opioid crisis.
As Attorney General, Savit has pledged to establish a statewide Workers’ Rights Unit focused on protecting workers from wage theft, exploitation, unsafe working conditions, and corporate abuse.
“Eli Savit doesn’t back down from corporate power — he fights for justice for the working class,” said UAW President Shawn Fain. “While too many politicians talk about workers during election season and disappear afterward, Eli has actually gone after corporations that steal wages, rip off consumers, and poison communities. He’s proven he’ll use the law to hold powerful interests accountable.”
The endorsement highlights Savit’s longstanding commitment to economic justice and worker protection. In office, he has focused not only on prosecuting crime, but on holding corporations accountable when they exploit workers and consumers.

Justin Mayhugh2026-05-15 09:31:332026-05-15 09:31:33UAW Endorses Eli Savit for Michigan Attorney GeneralThe UAW is calling on the Trump Administration to intervene in the closure of an iconic brass instrument plant which is facing an imminent threat of offshoring to China, destroying 150 good union jobs in Ohio.
In a letter to US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, UAW President Shawn Fain, UAW Region 2B Director David Green, and UAW Local 2359 President Robert Hines call on the Administration to include brass musical instruments under the broader Section 232 tariffs on copper imports.
“Workers in Eastlake, Ohio have produced brass musical instruments for over 60 years. They have done their jobs, producing world-class products, winning a union contract with family-sustaining wages, and building the company into America’s largest in the sector. Now, it is time for the federal government to do its job, by protecting our jobs, signaling to blue-collar workers across the country that their jobs will be safe too, and penalizing companies for attempting to offshore our jobs and decimate our communities,” write the UAW leaders. “The Commerce Department has the power to immediately halt the offshoring of jobs at Conn-Selmer by making the company, and its billionaire owner, pay a price for leaving Eastlake behind. Brass musical instruments must be included as derivate products within the scope of the section 232 tariffs on copper imports.”
In January – on what was supposed to be day one of the latest contract negotiations between Conn-Selmer and UAW Local 2359 members – the last, USA-made brass instrument brand, informed workers that it is shutting down its Ohio facility and offshoring almost all its Eastlake operations overseas to China.
Decades of an Ohio mainstay and 150 good, union jobs suddenly became on the chopping block because billionaire hedge fund owner John Paulson decided to lead with corporate greed over preserving an American institution – and American manufacturing.

On the 89th anniversary of the UAW’s historic sit-down strike victory at General Motors in Flint, MI, the union concluded its 2026 National CAP Conference by charting the path forward for this generation’s labor movement.
The fourth and final day of the biennial conference included a White Shirt Day event to honor the sit-downers, the union’s first-ever Michigan Senate Forum, and inspirational speeches from U.S. Senators Rev. Raphael Warnock and Bernie Sanders.
The nearly 1,000 UAW members in attendance on Wednesday, clad in white shirts, began the day by watching a video commemorating the sit-down strike. At Local 651 in Flint, Region 1D held an event to honor the GM sit-downers and to remember the sacrifices made by the workers and the community.
“What those workers did in 1936–1937 took tremendous courage,” Region 1D posted on Facebook, recapping the event. “They risked everything—their jobs, their freedom, and their safety—to stand together inside those plants. They weren’t just fighting for themselves; they were fighting for generations they would never meet. Today, nearly nine decades later, we are the beneficiaries of that sacrifice.”
Both Senator Rev. Warnock and Senator Sanders addressed the massive political division seen all across the country in the current moment but also shared a message of hope and of a better possible future based in working-class solidarity.
“We all feel that there is something broken in the covenant with the American people,” Warnock passionately told attendees. “It’s as if the whole country has a low-grade fever. And we all feel it regardless of our politics. We may not agree on how to fix it, but we all feel it. And the question is how we can find our way to wholeness again… I submit to you, that you ought to keep on organizing, and keep on fighting, and keep on standing up. Do not give in to those who say, ‘put your trust in me.’ Put our trust in each other, and together, we win!”
Sanders asked UAW members to imagine living in an America that lived up to its promise and ideals. “Brothers and sisters, in this momentous, unprecedented moment in American history, let us stand together!” Sanders told the crowd. “Let us show the world what a great country like ours can be and let us fight for the country that you and I know we can become!”
Region 1A Director Mark DePaoli and Region 1 Director LaShawn English, speaking before the Michigan Senate Forum, shared a positive vision for the UAW and the country moving forward, but one that must be fought for.
“These are difficult times, there’s no doubt about that,” Region 1A Director Mark DePaoli told delegates. “And I understand the fear and uncertainty that so many Americans feel in this moment. But I also see this as a great opportunity. An opportunity for us to lead the way forward for the working class. It’s on us to make it happen. So, let’s get to work.”
“In the union, we learn that unless we have each other’s backs, the boss will pick us apart,” Region 1 Director LaShawn English said. “Unless we fight for fair pay and benefits, we will be stuck with poverty wages. Unless we fight to be treated like human beings, we will be treated like we’re no different than a machine there to make the corporation money. So, we fight.”
Michigan Senator Mallory McMorrow, Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens, and Dr. Abdul El-Sayed shared the stage for the forum, sharing their personal stories, and contrasting their views on a number of topics. UAW members in the crowd also asked the three candidates questions on the issues currently facing union workers and the working class.
The forum can be watched in full below or here.
UAW members, joined by the International Executive Board and Senator Sanders, ended proceedings by singing the iconic labor tune, “Solidarity Forever.”
