This week marks @UAW's 90th anniversary! Check out the August Region 6 newsletter to learn how today's members are building on a legacy of bold worker action for social & economic justice -- and organizing to win a future that works for working people. uawregion6.org/newsletter/lea…

Let us reiterate. When workers organize, unite, and fight, we win better wages, safer conditions, and respect on the job.

Boeing talks about "respect" - but they've spent decades undermining the very workers who build their jets. IAM Union members in St. Louis are striking because talk is cheap. This fight is bigger than one contract - it's about justice! bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Teamsters women make history every single day. We’re tough, we’re motivated, and we know how to fight. There is nothing Teamsters women cannot and will not accomplish.

That's a wrap on Summer School 2025! In a moment where working people are facing escalating attacks from the billionaires and far right, UAW members are showing that a better world is possible – and building the solidarity, skills, and strategies to make it happen.

For nine decades, the UAW has been at the forefront of the labor movement, winning historic gains for working people and standing at the center of major struggles for civil rights, social justice, and economic fairness. As we celebrate our 90th anniversary this week, we highlight the UAW’s proud history of bold action—from the Flint Sit-Down Strike of 1936 to the Stand Up Strike of 2023 and beyond.

May Day 2025 - A reminder of what is at stake in just 3 short years. We remember the sacrifices made and the journey we are on. Corporate greed has not stopped, and now more than ever, we must remind Big Government that WE THE PEOPLE have the right to collective bargaining just as much as we have the right to free speech. #MayDay2025 #MayDay2028 #UAW #PortlandOregon @UAW @uawregion6 @AFLCIO @OregonAFLCIO
