(DETROIT, MICHIGAN) - More than 10,000 Auto Workers across 13 Non-Union companies have signed Union Cards with the United Auto Workers (UAW), as momentum builds across the Auto Industry for better wages, benefits and rights on the job, the Union announced.

The major milestone comes less than 90 days after UAW Members ratified record contracts at the Big Three. 

“Our Stand Up movement has caught fire among America’s Auto Workers, far beyond the Big Three,” UAW President Shawn Fain said. “These Workers are standing up for themselves, for their families and for their communities - and our Union will have their back every step of the way.” 

In the wake of the UAW’s historic Stand Up Strike victory at the Big Three Automakers (Ford, GM and Stellantis), thousands of Non-Union Auto Workers began organizing their own Unions with the UAW across the entire Non-Union Auto Industry.  

In just two months, Workers at Volkswagen in Chattanooga, Tennessee and at Mercedes in Vance, Alabama have gone public with their campaigns, nearing a majority of Workers signed up at both plants.

Workers at more than two dozen other facilities have begun organizing in the thousands, inspired by the Big Three victory and the Non-Union Auto Workers’ public announcements. 

For more information on the Non-Union Auto Workers’ organizing efforts at Volkswagen, Mercedes, Toyota, Honda, Volvo, Tesla, Nissan, BMW, Subaru, Mazda, Rivian, Lucid and Hyundai, visit UAW.org/join.
