(PLYMOUTH, MICHIGAN) - Nearly 200 Workers employed at Webasto Roof Systems in Plymouth, Michigan have voted to join United Auto Workers (UAW) Local 3000.

The Workers - who make convertible tops for the Mustang, Jeep, Bronco and Corvette, launched their Organizing Drive in November, and faced an intense Anti-Union Campaign from management.

“We’re doing this for our Co-Workers,” said Sheron Johnson, a Production Worker at Webasto. “People have been mistreated, not getting paid, having their schedules changed with no notice. We want to leave this place better for the next generation.”

Gustavo Vasquez, who has worked at Webasto for 17 years, said: “We used to have our voices heard at Webasto, that’s all we want: To be treated as an asset to the company and not just a number.”

UAW Local 3000 President Steve Gonzales said: “These brave Workers stuck together in the face of fierce opposition from the company.  As they move from this organizing victory to the fight for a first contract, we’ve got their back - one-hundred-percent.”
