Strikes work

On Monday the United Auto Workers completed a clean sweep of wins over the big three U.S. auto companies when GM followed Ford and Stellantis (formerly Chrysler, etc.) by agreeing to a contract.

The results are astonishingly good for workers. And the union knows how to communicate its wins visually:

And the union doesn't take these gains as a signal to lay back ...

In a speech to union members live-streamed on Facebook Sunday night, the U.A.W. president, Shawn Fain, said the union planned a push to organize plants at some of the nonunion automakers, such as Toyota, Honda and Tesla.

“One of our biggest goals coming out of this historic contract victory is to organize like we’ve never organized before,” Mr. Fain said. “When we return to the bargaining table in 2028, it won’t just be with the Big Three. It will be the Big Five or Big Six.”

Can auto workers organize anti-union in the anti-union South? They are going to try.
