Wondering what our main issues are? Here’s one: sick leave! ✊Remember to check out the links in our bio for ways to support us! And stay tuned for more posts about what we are fighting to achieve 🫶

Another primary reason for the USU strike: layoff protections. Our organizers deserve to know whether they'll be able to pay next month's rent. If locals can commit to reasonable notice or severance, the International can too. Check out our link in bio for ways to support! ✊❤️

Week two! Can't wait to see more UAW members join their favorite staff union they know is committed to class struggle unionism on the picket line! Some of them are even my friends 🙃

There’s a lot of talk about staff unions being antithetical to union democracy. But so many of our members who have won grievances, or benefit from our contract just want to stand with our organizers. This isn’t hard.

Good morning to everyone on the USU picket line for strike week two! ☀️✊

Another morning on the picket line, another reason we are on strike: appointment duration. Organizers want to be able to plan our lives, know where our next check is coming from, and count on having health care. As always, check the links in our bio to support ✊❤️

New press release this morning: UAW Staff United Strike Goes Into Second Week "The USU strike is not an economic strike. The union is not after higher salaries. [...] They just want to be able to keep their jobs."

USU has bargaining today—for the first time since the strike began—with the International starting at 11am, so our picket will be delayed until the session ends! Stay tuned for updates. ✊🔥 📸 Jonathan Bloom

Today the UAW IEB walked away from us after a full day at the bargaining table. The IEB can end this strike any time — but our strike is continuing. 1/ 📸 Jonathan Bloom

Again, UAW UAW Region 9A leaders walk away from their own staff who support the members in the shops daily—staff who also deserve a fair contract for themselves, with job security, livable compensation & adequate sick leave. Building a sustainable movement takes no less.

Hear from more Region 9A members that can’t make it out to our picket but still want to show solidarity with USU! As the strike continues, please share and donate to our strike fund and send some emails to the IEB urging them to reach a fair contract. #uawstaffunited

Could not be more proud of the temp organizers in UAW Region 9a. Tireless work over two years of organizing, 15 months of bargaining and 10 days on the picket line has secured a historic agreement that will provide conditions that will help them best serve all members in 9a shops

In awe of the staffers UAW Staff United who just won a TA with UAW after 10 days of striking in the bitter cold. These siblings, who have worked tirelessly on behalf of CFU UAW @act_uaw7902 ALAA - UAW 2325 and other UAW Region 9A locals, have just made UAW a stronger union.

If you’re a union leader who prioritizes negotiating with politicians and the elite while keeping the majority of workers disengaged, then of course you will feel smarter than and resentful of your members. Congratulations, you’ve just created the conditions of your own hell.

Merry Strikemas, one and all!
