We have to unrig the healthcare system in this country. We demand healthcare for all!

“We were completely slammed and understaffed every single day, and the company is making money hand over fist, and virtually none of that made it to the workers," said Ben Sepinuck, a member of the @nitehawkunion organizing committee. @UAWRegion9A ow.ly/uniz50YvMK7

We have to bring back pensions and retiree healthcare for all!

Today marks one month on strike for UAW Local 2192 members at Lorain County Job and Family Services, and county commissioners' continual refusal to negotiate in good faith is putting critical public services at risk. Workers are demanding a one-dollar-per-hour wage increase to bring them closer to the pay levels of comparable Ohio counties, yet LC commissioners would rather jeopardize the health and safety of their constituents than treat their workforce with the dignity and respect they deserve. @UAWRegion2B

🚨 LORAIN COUNTY JOB AND FAMILY SERVICES WORKERS HIT ONE-MONTH STRIKE MILESTONE, CALL ON COMMISSIONERS TO GET BACK TO BARGAINING TABLE AHEAD OF MEDIATION NEXT WEEK 🚨 On Wednesday, March 18, UAW Local 2192 members at Lorain County Job and Family Services marked one month on strike. The strike was provoked by the Lorain County Commissioners’ refusal to negotiate in good faith after rejecting a neutral fact-finder’s report, which has put critical public services at risk. Workers will meet with County Commissioners on Wednesday, March 25 for the first time since going on strike, in a state-mandated mediation regarding unfair labor practice charges filed by UAW Local 2192 members after County Commissioners illegally refused to bargain. “We are entering March 25’s mediation with one goal: to get back to the table for the residents that rely on our vital services,” said Gina Jones, UAW Local 2192 Chairperson and case worker at Lorain County JFS. “This is an opportunity for the County Commission to settle this crisis. JFS workers want to be back at work serving the people of Lorain County, but they can’t do that if they can’t even afford to feed their own families. All we’re asking for is a one dollar per hour raise.” Since February 18, 140 workers – who manage elder abuse investigations, home daycare inspections, and SNAP and Medicaid support – have held picket lines outside the JFS building every day, with additional picket lines added outside the County Administration Building. Throughout the strike, Commissioners have refused to return to the negotiating table, as workers continue to mobilize and speak out at County Commissioner Board meetings. On February 24, JFS workers filed Unfair Labor Practice (ULP) charges against the County for refusing to bargain in good faith. Ohio law requires both parties to meet and work through their differences in good faith to keep public services up and running, a goal the Union has strived for from the beginning despite the County’s continuous pushback. The workers’ remaining demand is a one dollar per hour wage adjustment to bring workers closer to the pay levels of comparable Ohio counties. JFS operations are primarily funded through state and federal pass-through dollars, meaning the proposed one-dollar adjustment would cost the County’s General Fund nothing. Given the nature of the crucial public services JFS workers perform, the County’s illegal refusal to bargain and misplaced priorities have created not just a workforce crisis but have pushed Lorain County to the brink of a public service crisis. While average wages for Lorain JFS workers trail nearly all Ohio counties, County Commissioners increased worker healthcare costs by 50% – leading to a crisis where 90 out of 140 positions at JFS have seen employee turnover in just the past five years. These issues come alongside the County’s clumsy decision-making nearly led to the repossession of police vehicles, and to the County Auditor claiming retaliation from the Commissioners after he refused illegal requests, among other blunders. County Commissioners are also up against universal opposition from local organizations, community members, and even newspaper editorial boards as they force an unpopular “megasite” development forward. Meanwhile, as County Commissioners deny JFS workers a fair contract that addresses staffing shortages, recruitment, and excessively high turnover challenges – they have no issue with increasing six-figure management positions by 142% in the same period (growing from 65 to 157 positions making over $100,000).

The UAW and labor supporters from across the community came out to Local 31 in Kansas City on Tuesday to rally with Emotiv workers organizing to form their union. While workers at the parts supplier have bravely exercised their protected concerted rights, the company is rolling out illegal union-busting intimidation tactics in an attempt to defeat the organizing drive. Yesterday, the Kansas City community sent a message to Emotiv: We're standing with these workers through thick and thin until they win! A big thank you to everyone who stood with these brave Emotiv workers, including UAW Local 249, Local 710, Local 2250 (Wentzville, MO) SEIU, AFGE, Stand Up KC, and UAW Region 4 Director Brandon Campbell ✊✊✊

The workers at JFS deserve a living wage. The most vulnerable community members do not deserve the delays caused by the Lorain County commissioners' self-created crisis. It's time for the commissioners to return to negotiations and reach a fair deal. Workers are just asking for $1 more per hour. That's all it would take to stabilize this workforce! @uawregion2b

STATEMENT FROM UAW VICE PRESIDENT LAURA DICKERSON ON FATALITY AT SHARONVILLE TRANSMISSION PLANT "The UAW is devastated to learn that a member was killed on the job at Ford's Sharonville Transmission Plant on March 16, 2026," said UAW Vice President Laura Dickerson, UAW Ford Department Director. "No one should ever go to work and never come home. It is our sacred duty as a union to protect the life, health, and safety of our members on the job. Members deserve a workplace free of threat to life and body. Our prayers are with the family, co-workers and loved ones of our fallen brother."

A dignified retirement is a human right. UAW members in every state, every sector, and at every employer are demanding an agenda that puts our 4 core issues first—wages, health care, retirement, and time off. This is what we’re fighting for as a collective.

More than two years after winning their election, @CfuUaw is still fighting for a first contract at NYU. Two years is too long to be denied a contract with secured rights, benefits, and pay. Show your support as they continue to bargain ahead of next Monday’s strike deadline.

🚨 UAW family: this is a big week to stand in solidarity with @CfuUaw’s fight for a first contract! Please send a letter to the administration urging them to bargain in good faith and settle a fair contract before the strike deadline of March 23rd. actionnetwork.org/letters/nyu-ne…
