SOLOMON HUGHES recommends Sunjeev Sahota’s recent novel set in a trade union election campaign for its fresh approach to what unites and divides workers, but wishes the union backdrop was truer to life
UAW to begin massive organising campaign
The US auto workers’ union is looking to expand its membership base following successes at GM, Ford and Stellantis, writes TONY BURKE
FOLLOWING on from its major success in securing much-improved contracts with the US’s Big Three auto manufacturers (GM, Ford and Stellantis), the United Autoworkers union intends to launch simultaneous organising campaigns across the US to organise over 150,000 new members.
UAW says the Big Three dispute has encouraged many workers in non-union plants to join the UAW already.
The companies to be targeted include Tesla, which is in a hardening battle with the Swedish union IF Metall over union organising and collective bargaining and in Germany where the company is refusing to recognise the IG Metall union at its Brandenburg plant.
