This guy has balls of steel. In position for less than a year and he’s getting shit done.
Fetterman/Fain 2028
Big dong energy.
That spokesperson has the right idea with the shirt…talk about a statement.
And he has done wonders so far this year. Absolutely the right person to lead the UAW after years of corruption.
It’s crazy he was only just elected in march.
Can you provide examples of changes he made? I support them but not aware of his specific actions
I assume it's about the recent strike of the big 3 all at the same time. Also starting out slow with largely symbolic strikes, until companies didn't play ball then striking the most profitable plants, and backing off when negotiations were going well.
I like this guy.
Eat them or they will eat you.
“They’re all the target.” Damn.
Prospective union members remember this: the SPIT of unfair labour practices!
VW is odd since it is a German company and about as unionized as you can get.
VW factories in the US are not unionized.
I know. That's why it's odd. VW should have no problem with a union.
I think you're confused. VW has unions in Germany because Germany actually cares about its citizens. They wouldn't have unions if you gave them the option.
I've worked in Union houses in Germany and you're right.
It was a contingency when world war 2 ended that the boards in Germany be made in part of union members, it was a US idea
VW tried twice to unionize their US factory in Chattanooga. Both times the workers voted against unionisation. VW does a lot for unions and workers councils compared to other companies.
VW wanted the union at the first vote.

The VW management, the German union and the German Workers council wanted the plant to unionize. VW is a lot more pro union than Amazon. Die to German law there are a lot of union members on the board. The 2014 vote was opposed by local politicians, mainly republicans.
