    and because #UAW is divesting from Israel, there’s a huge smear campaign against Shawn Fain, in time for the unions’ elections.

  9. ⬆️ @vij

    >> US banning #Polestar is like 1970s India’s License Raj. Under #Biden, a #UAW sop; under T••••, a favor to #Musk + an open shakedown…

    Biden and UAW are both political whores.

    Biden, in particular, milked with BOTH hands by imposing a 100% tariff on #Chinese #EV to benefit BOTH #UAW and #ElonMusk, while screwing most Americans.

    #UAW prez #ShawnFain campaigned with #KamalaHarris in 2024. By 2025, he was singing praises to #Trump.

    those 350 engineers should join line workers and unionize with the United Auto Workers #UAW

    like #baseball players and #Hollywood actors, #engineers #architects #physicists #scientists are the working class and deserve to be represented and defended by a #labor union

  17. United Auto Workers today passed a resolution at its convention, 321-287, to divest from Israeli bonds.

    With nearly 400,000 members, UAW becomes the largest US union to officially divest from Israel.

    Speakers cited the union’s legacy of divesting from South African apartheid in 1978.

  24. 'A Strong Working-Class Agenda With Moral Clarity': UAW Endorses Abdul El-Sayed
    In what could be his most important endorsement in the tight Senate primary, #Michigan’s largest and most influential union said El-Sayed was “someone we can trust to have our backs.”

    “Having never taken a dime from corporate #PACs, Dr. #AbdulElSayed is someone we can trust to have our backs,” the #union continued. “From #MedicareForAll to banning stock buybacks, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is ready, eager, and well-equipped to move our core issues in the USSenate.”

    Dan Merica, a reporter at The Washington Post, noted that losing the #UAW endorsement to El-Sayed was a particularly big blow to Stevens, “who is running as a technocrat, often referring to herself as a ‘manufacturing geek’ because of her work as one of President Barack Obama’s top officials on the 2009 auto rescue.”

  30. ⬆️ >> Today I add another example where #Biden screwed us:

    It was not #Trump, but #Biden who coddled up to #Tesla.

    Biden imposed a 100% #tariff on Chinese EVs in 2024, 4x the previous 25% to protect #US mfg and union jobs. These tariffs also target EV components, raising levies on #batteries to 25% and #solar to 50%.

    Biden did that to protect #unions but #UAW Prez #ShawnFain supports Trump #Tariffs after campaigning for #KamalaHarris

  37. RE: mastodon.social/@arstechnica/1

    #Ford needs to start selling, and #UAW to start making, the cars that drivers want to buy, not cars Ford wants to sell. Today, that means:
    • safe (which means buttons and levers, not touchscreens)
    • reliable (which means absence of features not necessary for one of these)
    • efficient (which means not a wasteful giant box with terribly restricted driver vision)
    • easy to repair (which means #rightToRepair)
    • inexpensive to own and operate (which, for many, means a BEV car less expensive than the ICE Focus)
    • nothing else (which, among other things, means no capacity for the car itself to connect to the Internet)

    We don’t need an infotainment system: we need a sturdy place to mount a cellphone. We don’t need a built-in screen for kids: we can hang our own tablet off the back of a seat in a case with a strap. We don’t need driver distraction compensation features: we need the car itself to present no distraction. We don’t need a status symbol: we need to get us and our stuff from point A to B with minimal hassle.

    Stop trying to persuade drivers to buy wasteful vehicles, and start offering drivers a means to avoid wasting their time and money.

    Offer me a safe and reliable non-flashy and non-distracting EV sedan, with no needless bells or whistles, at a price which puts the payments below my current monthly cost of gas, and you’ve got a sale.

    What do I know about unions and labor strikes?

    My fav union story from my ILR days: everyone in ILR majors in Labor Relations, and a ton end up in Law School (where I thought I was going). One of the seniors (Al Davidoff)--the *biggest* LR fan --kinda disappeared after grad.

    He was working as a Cornell janitor. He helped organize with the UAW, and was voted chapter president at 23. No one was shocked.
