(DETROIT, MICHIGAN) - Now just days away from one of the most consequential elections in U.S. History, United Auto Workers (UAW) President Shawn Fain is rallying his Membership to increase participation in the elections in order to block a second Trump Presidency and to defend the Union Movement and the Working Class from unconstrained billionaire rule.

Speaking from the UAW International Headquarters, the Solidarity House, in Downtown Detroit, Fain spoke bluntly on the stakes of this election and why the UAW is mobilizing across Michigan and the Midwest to elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

“Who we elect matters.  What we do as a Union matters.  What you do in the next week matters,” he said. “We are up against a billionaire class that will not stop their attack on us at the bargaining table.  They will not stop at the workplace, they will not stop at the border, and they will take every inch we give them.”

Fain called attention to the direct relationship between the “bread box and the ballot box.”

What the Labor Movement fights for and wins at the bargaining table with the bosses can be stripped away in the Legislative Halls - as the old adage goes, he reminded his audience.

That’s why the UAW is sounding the alarm at the danger a MAGA/Republican Donald Trump victory spells not only for the UAW and Organized Labor - but for the entire Working Class.

The Union is working overtime to make sure its Members and friends don’t forget how Trump has treated them in the past.

During the UAW’s Stand-Up Strike against The Big Three Automakers in 2023, he held a campaign rally at a Non-Union company in Detroit with paid supporters masked as Auto Workers.
